World Athletics has declared 23 Russian track and field athletes eligible to compete under a neutral flag ahead of the Tokyo Olympics. Their national federation is under a doping suspension so Russians must apply for “authorized neutral athlete” status after their drug-testing records are vetted. High jumper Mikhail Akimenko and race walker Vasiliy Mizinov — both silver medalists from the 2019 world championships — were among the names on the list released by track’s governing body.
