Russian athletes at the 2020 Summer Olympics

Russia was expected to compete at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, now postponed to 23 July to 8 August 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] It would have been the country's seventh consecutive appearance at the Summer Olympics as an independent nation. However, on 9 December 2019, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) banned Russia from all international sport for four years, after it was found that data provided by the Russian Anti-Doping Agency had been manipulated by Russian authorities with a goal of protecting athletes involved in its state-sponsored doping scheme. As at the 2018 Winter Olympics, WADA will allow individual cleared Russian athletes to compete neutrally under a title to be determined (which may not include the name "Russia", unlike the use of "Olympic Athletes from Russia" in 2018).[2]

Russia later filed an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against the WADA decision.[3] On December 17, 2020, the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that Russian athletes would not be allowed to use their country's name, flag, or anthem at any Olympics or World Championships for two years (until December 16, 2022, half of WADA's proposed four years). Russian athletes would, however, be allowed to use their country's name, flag, and colors on their uniforms as long as "Neutral Athlete" or "Neutral Team" are present with equal prominence. They are also not allowed to host or bid for any major event during this period. Russia can appeal the decision.[4]

Archery

Three Russian archers qualified for the women's events by reaching the quarterfinal stage of the women's team recurve at the 2019 World Archery Championships in 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands.[5]
