Russian, Belarussian Athletes Not To Participate In Hangzhou Asian Games

The International Olympic Committee: The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has thwarted a move by Asian sports administrators to involve athletes from Russia and Belarus in the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, later this month.

Though the Russian and Belarus authorities have not been very enthusiastic, the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) had a few months ago proposed to invite athletes from these two countries to participate in the Asian Games.

The IOC has suspended Russia and Belarus from international competitions because of their countries' role in the war in Ukraine.
