Russian Olympic Head Says 200 Of Russia's Athletes Might Compete Under Neutral Flag

Russian short track athletes, first row, and ice hockey players wearing sweatshirts with the words "Russia is in my heart" attend a Russian Olympic Committee meeting Tuesday. The Russian committee said it will support athletes who compete at the 2018 Winter Games despite a ban on the national team.

The decision comes one week after the International Olympic Committee suspended Russia's national team over a system of doping.
