Mirra Andreeva and Diana Shnaider on Sunday became the first Russians to win a medal<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

at the Paris Olympics when they took silver in the women’s tennis doubles.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Playing as neutrals, they were beaten in three sets in the final by Italy’s Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini.<\/p>\n

Athletes from Russia and ally Belarus were banned from world sport following the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.<\/p>\n

But the IOC has allowed their gradual return under a neutral banner, providing the athletes concerned meet strict conditions.<\/p>\n

In Paris, there are just 15 Russians and 17 Belarusians competing.<\/p>\n

“It doesn’t matter to me,” said Andreeva when asked about competing as a neutral.<\/p>\n

“I just go on the court to play and I fight. That’s what we did together this week.”<\/p>\n

Shnaider refused completely to discuss the ban on the Russian flag and anthem.<\/p>\n

“We are here to fight as a pair and we are very proud of that. I will not answer any questions about politics. I am here to talk about tennis,” she told a press conference.<\/p>\n

To be invited to Paris, “neutral individual athletes” who achieved good enough results to qualify had to pass a double check.<\/p>\n

The international sports federations and the IOC verified that the competitors did not actively support the war in Ukraine or have any links with their countries’ armies.<\/p>\n

They were not allowed to take part in the opening ceremony or compete under their national flags and their achievements are not recognised in the medals table.<\/p>\n

Andreeva, 17, and 20-year-old Shnaider, playing their first event as a team, went down to a 2-6, 6-1, 10-7 defeat to the experienced Italians in Sunday’s final.<\/p>\n

They had knocked out defending Olympic champions and second seeds Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n

Andreeva and Shnaider are both top-25 players in singles.<\/p>\n

At this year’s French Open, Andreeva was the youngest player to reach the semi-finals since 1997.<\/p>\n

Shnaider arrived in Paris having won a third singles title in Budapest.<\/p>\n

Belarusians have already enjoyed some success in the French capital.<\/p>\n

Ivan Litvinovich won men’s trampoline gold on Friday while Viyaleta Bardzilouskaya claimed silver in the women’s event.<\/p>\n
