Individual Russian swimmers will be allowed to compete in international events such as the Paris Olympics if they meet a set of “strict criteria” that include not talking to the media.
They cannot take part in any relays, artistic swimming, synchronized diving, or water polo.
Individual athletes still have to qualify for the Olympics in order to compete in Paris next summer. Main events on the swim calendar before then include three World Cup meets in October in Berlin, Athens and Budapest and the 2024 aquatics world championships next February in Doha, Qatar. “They will also not be allowed to give any interviews to media during such competitions,” the world swim body said, also barring athletes from news conferences and post-race mixed zones where journalists can ask questions.
