The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said on Wednesday that it hoped to reach a decision on the appeals of 47 Russian athletes and coaches before Friday’s Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympic Games Opening Ceremony.
On Wednesday, CAS opened another arbitration procedure for 15 athletes and coaches who have appealed against their exclusion from the Pyeongchang Games by the IOC.
The court was also holding a separate hearing in a case involving 32 Russian athletes who appealed against their exclusion from the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea.
