September 26, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> The United World Wrestling (UWW) Bureau has approved an update<\/a> that makes it easier for wrestlers and support staff from Russia and Belarus to participate in its tournaments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For future tournaments, only evidence of direct military participation in the war against Ukraine or public declarations [in written or orally] in support of the war and\/or of their promoters or participants will be considered to declare an athlete as ineligible, it said on September 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UWW will also re-examine all cases, based on the new criteria, that had earlier been declared ineligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eligible Russian and Belarussian wrestlers and support staff will continue to compete under the neutral flag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
