As of 27 November 2025
Individual Neutral Athletes (AINs) are athletes with Belarusian or Russian passports who have been confirmed as eligible and invited to compete at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games. The AIN quotas were determined through the existing qualification competitions and the specific eligibility requirements of the International Federations (IFs).
For the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, strict eligibility conditions were established for AINs by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in December 2023. These conditions will also apply to the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games. More information can be found here.
The Individual Neutral Athlete Eligibility Review Panel (AINERP) evaluates the eligibility of each athlete with a Russian or Belarusian passport to participate in the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games, and that of their support personnel. The IOC has the authority to invite an AIN, and their support personnel, to participate in the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games.
Participation in the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games is subject to the athletes’ acceptance of the individual invitation and signing of the Conditions of Participation applicable to all participants. The form contains a commitment to respect the Olympic Charter, including “the peace mission of the Olympic Movement”. Please find an excerpt from the form here.
The AINERP has reviewed the athletes in accordance with the IOC decision and the principles established.
Following the decision of the AINERP, the following athletes have been declared eligible and have been invited to participate in the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games.
