Athletes from Russia and Belarus will compete without a national title, flag or anthem.
They will be joined by athletes from Belarus , which is banned as a country for the first time.
Previously, Russian athletes were permitted to compete under the Russian Olympic Committee .
The IOC banned Russia in 2017 for its involvement in a series of doping scandals.
The suspension meant the ROC couldn't receive funding from the IOC , though it didn't affect the Russian athletes competing in the games as neutral athletes.
The IOC reserves the right to decide whether athletes with Russian or Belarusian passports participate.
Only about 60 athletes from the two nations had been invited under the new, strict standards.
