Russian para-athletes to compete at 2024 Paralympics
Friday, 29 September 2023 Russian para-athletes will be allowed to compete at the 2024 Paralympics in Paris after the International Paralympic Committee votes against a full ban.
Russian and Belarusian athletes will compete as neutrals at next year's Paris Paralympics after the International Paralympic Committee voted against maintaining a full ban of the two countries, imposed after the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Olivia Zollino has more.
Valentina Petrillo, a 50-year-old Italian transgender athlete, will make history as the first trans competitor in the Paralympics, qualifying for T12 200m and 400m events in Paris. Her participation has sparked debate, with Spanish lawyer Irene Aguiar calling it "unfair" after Petrillo outperformed Spanish athlete Melani Berges in qualifying. While IPC president Andrew Parsons welcomes Petrillo, the decision has faced protests.
