More than 60 athletes from Ukraine and 14 other countries are urging Olympic leaders to suspend the Russian Olympic Committee.
The International Olympic Committee has condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, saying it violated the Olympic Truce. It has called on international federations to cancel or move events planned in Russia and Belarus and to stop using the countries’ flags and national anthems.
Among those signing the letter was Ukrainian freestyle skier Oleksandr Abramenko, whose embrace with a Russian athlete in Beijing was caught on camera and captured headlines. “This was a general call for peace,” the IOC said in a statement. “For the IOC the matter is closed.”
