> The World Dancing Sport Federation says it has lifted all previously imposed sanctions on Russian athletes, allowing them to compete internationally without restrictions. The move follows the IOC’s July 7 decision to provisionally lift the Russian Olympic Committee’s suspension and recommend ending related participation limits. Russian athletes must still meet the federation’s rules, licensing, disciplinary and anti-doping requirements.
