Neutral was a totally different system at the IAAF championships than refugee or individual was at the Olympics. Neutral was about recognizing the country but disallowing its name. Just not enough runners were cleared to make a relay team.I don't know how they plan for this to impact team events in general. I thought the athletes who did not compete under a national flag in the summer Olympics competed in individual events. There is an ISU provision that allows the ISU to appoint athletes, but Olympics are managed by NOC's.
