The Russians are allowed to play international ice hockey again – will they also participate in athletics and biathlon soon?

The CAS ruling allows Russian ice hockey players to participate in international competitions, raising concerns among host nations and other sports federations. Germany is reconsidering its role as host for the upcoming World Championship due to this decision. The IIHF's previous exclusion of Russia was based on safety concerns, which the CAS deemed unsupported. This ruling may influence other sports, as Russia seeks to return to the international stage, with ongoing legal battles in athletics and biathlon. Some countries and sponsors are withdrawing support, complicating Russia's participation in future events.
