The Latest: 6 more Russian athletes file Olympic appeals

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — The Latest from the Pyeongchang Olympics (all times local):

12:45 p.m.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport says six more Russian athletes have filed appeals seeking to compete at the Pyeongchang Olympics.

The six include two world champion speedskaters, Denis Yuskov and Pavel Kulizhnikov, plus athletes from biathlon and ski jumping.

All six were originally refused invitations to compete by the International Olympic Committee. All have previously served bans of various lengths for failed drug tests. The IOC had said it wouldn't invite athletes previously banned for doping.

Seven Russian support personnel have filed appeals in another case.
