h a Russian or Belarusian passport should not be permitted to compete in events or classes other than those specified above.

This updates the position made by the World Sailing Board on November 18, 2023.

The recommendation that athletes with a Russian or Belarusian passport should not be permitted to participate in events outside of Olympic competition will be reviewed by the World Sailing Board in their three-monthly cycle which addresses the suspension of Russian and Belarusian officials. This process has been in place since March 2022 and the next review is due to take place on or before February 22, 2024.

The process for applying for AIN status will be announced in due course. The eligibility criteria will include all the IOC conditions of neutral participation.

These decisions were made by the World Sailing Board following consultation with the World Sailing Council and as part of the federation’s continued commitment to the Olympic Charter and the Olympic Movement.

World Sailing remains wholehearted in its support for the sailing community in Ukraine at what is an unimaginably difficult time.
