The Russian Olympic team departed from the Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport, Thursday, ahead of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
The list of athletes set to compete in Rio is yet to be confirmed following the consultation with the various international sports federations.
Prior to the departure, President of the Russian Olympic Committee Alexander Zhukov urged Russian athletes "to leave all worries behind."
Russian volleyball player Sergei Tetyukhin encouraged his fellow sportspeople to remain “united" despite provocations directed towards the Russian national team.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced on Sunday that there will be no blanket ban on Russian athletes who wish to compete at the Rio Olympic Games. However, the Russian athletes will have to meet strict criteria laid down by the IOC on an individual, case by case basis. These criteria include the stipulation that any Russian athlete who has previously been banned for doping will not be eligible to compete in the Rio Olympics.
