Ski mountaineer Nikita Filippov will be allowed to compete at next year’s Winter games in Italy. Russia and Belarus were banned by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) following Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

Russians and Belarusians cleared to compete at the Games will participate as independent athletes, without a national flag or anthem.
