Earlier in October, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) made the significant decision to suspend the Russian Olympic Committee with immediate effect. As part of this suspension, the Russian Olympic Committee will no longer operate as a National Olympic Committee as defined by the Olympic Charter and won't be receiving any funding from the Olympic Movement.

The IOC continues to prioritize the principles that bind our global sporting community. Decisions like these underline the importance of fairness, respect, and integrity within the sports realm.

It's essential to note that the IOC will, in due time, make decisions regarding the participation of individual neutral athletes with Russian passports for the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris 2024 and the Olympic Winter Games in Milano Cortina 2026.

Let's hope for a harmonious resolution that keeps the best interests of athletes at its heart. 🌍🎖️ Sport has the power to unify and heal, and it's upon us to champion its purest values.

Thrilled to share and celebrate Gayle de Miranda's groundbreaking announcement! 🎉 Being named the flag bearer for the opening ceremony, amidst 10K athletes in a stadium inaugurated by Prime Minister Modi, marks an unforgettable moment in India's sports history.

Kudos to Goa for championing equality with a balanced gender representation and ensuring female coaches for women rowers. Gayle's commitment to supporting LGBTQ+ rights is commendable and inspiring. 🌈

Coastal rowing is capturing the spotlight at the National Games, a testament to Guin's vision. As LA28 approaches, the excitement is palpable.

And what a joy it is to hear that Ali Hassan, Ibtissem Tremache, and the incredibly talented Hela Belhadj may join the festivities. Gayle's gratitude towards my playbook touches my heart, but it's her resilience and spirit that truly make the difference.

Title IX's significance cannot be overstated, and Gayle's dedication to ensuring its essence reaches all is remarkable.

So proud to witness sport becoming a force for positive change, with India leading the way in embracing Olympic values.

Cheers to you, Gayle, and here's to many more milestones! 🚣‍♀️❤️
