IOC provisionally lifts ban on Russian Olympic Committee, athletes may return

A final decision on whether Russia's flag, colors, or anthem will be permitted at the 2028 Los Angeles Games remains pending. This move comes despite objections from Ukraine and follows Russia's challenge at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
