Controversies Some Russian fencers were allowed to compete as Individual Neutral Athletes despite being members of Russian military, which contradicts IOC's recommendation. According to Ukrainian media, among athletes who are members of the Russian Armed Forces were lieutenant Yana Egorian, eventual World champion, major and Putin's authorized representative during the 2024 elections Sofya Velikaya, and warrant officer Olga Nikitina. More than 440 fencers from 40 countries signed a petition to FIE to reinstate rigorous background checks on Russian and Belarusian athletes competing as neutrals.
Protest actions were held in front of the hotel Russian fencers were staying. The protesters called them "Russian pigs" and exploded fireworks.
