Russian 'neutrals' at Paris Olympics are politically isolated and rarely in the spotlight 

Mirra Andreeva and Diana Shnaider of Individual Neutral Athlete show their silver medals after losing to Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini of Italy after women's doubles gold medal tennis match at Roland Garros stadium, at the 2024 Summer Olympics, Aug. 4, 2024, in Paris, France.

Rarely on the podium and barred from the opening ceremony, the 15 Russians competing at the Paris Olympics have an uneasy status as "Individual Neutral Athletes" following Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
