Russia's Olympic Committee announced Tuesday it will permit individual athletes to participate in the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics.

The International Olympic Committee barred Russia from the 2018 games in connection with a doping scandal.

Some 200 athletes wearing a neutral Olympic flag uniform are expected to compete in PyeongChang, provided that they pass a doping test.

An Olympic anthem, not the Russian anthem, will be played for winners on the medal stand.
