19:55Now PlayingThe International Olympic Committee has taken a major step towards bringing Russia back into the Olympic movement. But the cause of its ban from the Olympics – Russia’s war against Ukraine – has not ended, and the IOC's condemnation of it has not changed. So what has happened? The IOC has provisionally lifted the suspension of the Russian Olympic Committee as qualification begins for the 2028 Los Angeles Games. Russian athletes are moving closer to a return to international competition, while a decision on whether they could compete under the Russian flag and anthem has yet to be made.
