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 Russian news agency R-Sport has reported 29 swimmers and canoeing world champion Andrey Kraitor are also free to compete at the Games.
The IOC had asked individual sports federations to decide whether Russians could compete, in the wake of the country's doping scandal.
The International Weightlifting Federation excluded all eight Russians entered for Rio last week and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled the ban had been properly applied.
Appeals by 17 Russian rowers were also rejected at the hearing in Brazil.
CAS has now heard 18 cases since its division in Rio was opened on 26 July, a record for one Olympics.
