The International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Thursday invited 22 Russian and 17 Belarusian athletes to compete at the Paris Olympics as neutrals even though some have already decided against taking part.
A second list of names authorised to compete in the July 26-August 11 showpiece included competitors from tennis, shooting and rowing.
The first list, which was published on June 15, was limited to four disciplines wrestling, weightlifting, cycling and trampoline.
That also included the first refusals including Russian cyclist Aleksandr Vlasov and five Belarusians.
Eighteen athletes have, however, already confirmed their presence - three cyclists, three trampoline specialists, two weightlifters and 10 wrestlers.
