Why Is Russia Banned from the Tokyo Olympics?

What's Happening?

Basically, the ROC which is the Russian Olympic Committee, this program sponsored Russia to be a part of it, the ROC is sort of the same as Russia, as Russia received a two-year ban from December 2017 to December 2022 as the ban states that no athletes can represent Russia at the Olympic games.

The ban was originally for four years but the Court of Arbitration reduced the ban from 4 years to 2 years, Athletes that are under the ROC program cannot wear Russian flag or symbol represents them, if the uniform states that they are from Russia, they will include neutral athlete to state that the athlete is not in the program.

Vitalina Batsarashkina won the ROC’s first gold in Tokyo in the 10m pistol event earlier Sunday, they didn't play the national anthem of Russia, the music that was played is music from Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto.

In February 2022, the ROC will be competing instead of Russia itself, and the flag and the anthem will be back in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The reason behind the ban is that the World Anti-Doping Agency found it guilty of running a state-sponsored doping program.
