> World Triathlon’s Executive Board has authorized Russian athletes to compete in national uniforms under the Russian flag, with the national anthem played if they win, Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyarev said. Adult Russians had previously competed only as neutrals, while junior athletes and mixed relay teams had already received permission to compete without restrictions.
