PARIS (Reuters) - Russian and Belarusian athletes, competing at the Paris Olympics as neutral individual athletes without their flag and emblem, will be allowed to take part in the Games closing ceremony on Sunday, the International Olympic Committee said on Saturday.
The athletes were not allowed to take part in the opening ceremony on July 26 when teams paraded on boats down the river Seine.
