Individual Neutral Athletes (AINs) are athletes with Belarusian or Russian passports who have been confirmed as eligible and invited to compete at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games. The AIN quotas were determined through the existing qualification competitions and the specific eligibility requirements of the International Federations (IFs).

For the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, strict eligibility conditions were established for AINs by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in December 2023. These conditions will also apply to the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games. More information can be found here.
