The International Olympic Committee makes a big decision. They lift a ban on Russia. This means Russian athletes can compete again. Russia had a three-year suspension from international sports. Now, this suspension is over.
The Committee tells other sports groups to stop a special check. For three years, they checked Russian athletes very carefully. This check was to make sure they could play as 'neutral' athletes. Neutral athletes do not show their country's flag or symbols. Now, this checking program stops.
This decision is important for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Russian athletes can now try to join these games. They will go through qualifying events. This means they can take part in competitions to earn a spot in the Olympics. It is a new start for Russian sports in the Olympic world.
