The Russian Olympic team is preparing for full participation in the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles, Russian Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyaryov told TASS on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The country’s athletes have gradually been returning to international competitions after years of Ukraine-related restrictions, following recommendations issued by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) shortly after the escalation of the conflict in February 2022.<\/p>\n

“We are preparing to take part in the 2028 Olympic Games with a full roster,”<\/em> Degtyaryov told TASS at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok.<\/p>\n

“We will hold the second summer ‘Spartakiad’ with the strongest athletes,” <\/em>he added, explaining that “these are our domestic qualifying competitions for the Olympics.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Degtyaryov said Russia “will start looking at all the candidates”<\/em> for the 2028 Games at next year’s domestic event.<\/p>\n

The minister has previously condemned what he described as “discrimination”<\/em> against Russian athletes who have been forced to participate under a neutral flag and barred from competing under their national colors in numerous sports.<\/p>\n

Last month, Russian swimmers took home 18 medals from the 2025 World Aquatics Championships in Singapore in their first chance to compete since 2016, due to IOC sanctions. Competing under a neutral flag, the team won six golds and placed fourth overall in the medals table.<\/p>\n

IOC president Kirsty Coventry, who was elected earlier this year, has said she stands against banning countries from the Olympics over conflicts.<\/p>\n

“Ultimately I believe that it’s best for our movement to ensure that we have all athletes represented,” <\/em>she told Sky News in March, adding that she will open a “discussion”<\/em> on allowing Russians at the Games once again.<\/p>\n

Moscow has repeatedly described the IOC sanctions as a perversion of the Olympic Charter, which is ostensibly intended to keep the Games free of politics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
