The move follows a December 2 ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), which found that FIS's earlier decision to block all Russian and Belarusian athletes from Olympic qualification events constituted an unlawful "blanket exclusion" based solely on nationality.

National teams from both countries remain banned.
