IOC President Kirsty Coventry Opposes Olympic Bans Over Conflicts, Open To Russia’s 2026 Return

IOC President Kirsty Coventry opposes banning athletes over armed conflicts, signaling a shift in Olympic policy.

She plans to discuss Russia’s return to competition, emphasizing a case-by-case approach.

Coventry, the first African woman to lead the IOC, will form a task force to guide sports decisions amid global conflicts.

She highlights Africa’s ongoing crises and the need to protect athletes.

Her stance challenges previous Olympic restrictions, which barred Russian and Belarusian teams after the Ukraine war escalated in 2022.
