A three-member IOC panel has ratified 18 shooters, 11 boxers, 11 judokas, eight tennis players, six sailors, five equestrian riders, three archers and one golfer, among others.
The Tass news agency reported Russia Olympic Committee head Alexander Zhukov as saying: “We have documents on the admission of about 270 sportspeople.
“We need to do the updated counting.”
Russian news agency R-Sport said 29 swimmers and canoeing world champion Andrey Kraitor were also free to compete at the Games.
The IOC asked individual federations to decide whether Russians could compete following the country’s doping scandal.
The International Weightlifting Federation excluded all eight Russiansentered for Rio last week and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) ruled the ban had been “properly applied”.
