According to Inside the Games, the CAS considered that the song “Katyusha” proposed by the ROC athletes commission could not be used instead of the anthem, since it is a composition directly associated with Russia, which contradicts the original decision to ban the national anthem.

According to the CAS decision on the dispute between WADA and RUSADA, the Russian national teams will compete at the World Championships and the Olympic Games under a neutral flag for two years, but at the same time they will be able to put national colors on equipment and indicate the name of the country on it.

Earlier it was reported that the IOC prescriptions for the symbols of Russian athletes have been agreed with key organizations.
