The Russians, unfortunately, will only perform in five.
The XXXIII Summer Olympic Games will be held in France from 26 July to 11 August. Nearly 10,000 athletes representing more than 200 National Olympic Committees will take part in the large-scale competitions.
Unfortunately, the Russian national team will not be represented at the Olympics due to sanctions. However, a dozen and a half Russians will come to Paris as neutral athletes. Belarusians will also be neutral athletes at the Games. A total of 329 prizes will be awarded in France.

What new sports have appeared at the 2024 Olympics?
There will be only one new sport at the 2024 Olympics: breakdancing. Athletes will compete for two sets of awards: in the women’s and men’s competitions. Dancers will improvise to the beat, and judges will evaluate how technically, creatively and beautifully they move.
The appearance of breakdancing at the Olympic Games is a controversial decision:
Dancing will now be part of the Olympics. Is the great sport becoming a laughing stock?
How many sports will there be at the 2024 Olympics?
There is no single, exact answer to this question.
The official website of the Paris Olympics lists 45 different sports, separating all disciplines from cycling.
Wikipedia claims that there will be only 32 sports at the Paris Olympics. But rhythmic and artistic gymnastics are combined there, and swimming, including synchronised and open water swimming, diving and water polo are included under the heading “Aquatic sports”.
“Championship” follows the classification most familiar to Russian fans and identifies 40 different sports at the 2024 Games.
