The Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) is the National Olympic Committee for Russia, founded in 1911 in its original Imperial Russian form and reconstituted in 1992 following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, headquartered in Moscow. It has organized Russia's Olympic participation including the 1980 Moscow Summer Olympics and 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, and in the 2020s its athletes competed under neutral designations rather than the Russian flag following international sanctions connected to state-sponsored doping findings and geopolitical suspensions.
