💨 Abstract

Russia's Olympic chief Stanislav Pozdnyakov has announced his resignation, citing geopolitical challenges facing Russian sports. He has headed the Russian Olympic Committee since 2018 and is stepping down to facilitate a change in leadership due to the current economic conditions. Russia was banned from competing as a team at the Paris Games due to its invasion of Ukraine, and only a few athletes were authorized to compete as Individual Neutral Athletes after a screening process.
