Russia's ban from international luge competition has been extended by the sport's governing body.
"In an effort to ensure a safe, peaceful, and integral sport, the delegates of 27 present national federations voted by a large majority at the 72nd FIL Congress in Lake Placid (USA) to further suspend the Russian Luge Federation," a statement from the International Luge Federation said.
"In light of the ongoing war of aggression by Russia against Ukraine, the participation rights of athletes, coaches, trainers, and other officials of the Russian Luge Federation have been suspended until further notice."
Various other sports have similar policies, with Russia not being able to qualify for the current men's European football Championship, while other sports allow Russians to compete individually as neutrals.
FIL added: "The presence of Russian athletes, coaches, trainers, and other officials of the Russian Luge Federation during FIL-sanctioned sporting competitions poses a high risk. This risk affects the safety, peace, and integrity of these competitions and their participants, including those of the Russian federation itself.
"This threat makes the suspension proportionate and remains in effect as long as the hostilities in Ukraine continue."
The next Winter Olympics are in Milan/Cortina in 2026.
