Russian Olympic Committee

The Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) represents Russia in the Olympic Games and was established to manage the country's participation in international sports events. Recently, the ROC has been in the news due to the International Olympic Committee's decision to provisionally lift sanctions against it, which were imposed following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The easing of sanctions allows for the potential participation of Russian athletes in upcoming international competitions, including the 2024 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, provided they meet strict anti-doping requirements.
