It has not been purchased as other countries do. IAAF had nothing to do with this decision. The IOC rules allowed him to compete for Spain 6 weeks earlier than the IAAF rules.

heywoodu 13,540 Posted August 17, 2016 #842 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) Again, completely idiotic that the men's steeplechase final will be in a few minutes from now instead of tonight, but alright, we'll have to make do. I'm cheering for everyone who is not called Mekhissi-Bennabad, hope that idiot finishes last or something, at least then he won't "celebrate" by pushing young mascots around Edited August 17, 2016 by heywoodu If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

It has not been purchased as other countries do. There are rules and those rules should be followed by all countries. Those rules werent applied on Turkey or Bahrain, so they probably couldnt apply those rules to Spain, although it would have been the right decision to not allow Ortega to compete in Rio for Spain.

For Spain wins a medal in 12 years in Athletics ... Orlando has had a hard time not to compete for three years, a little understanding for him. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
