I wonder why the athletes even bothered starting, this is just incredibly embarrassing.

One might assume not starting would hurt their careers in some way, I don't think it's much of their own choice.

There's also an Aerials scheduled for Yaroslavl' at the weekend.  Obviously  &  will not be boycotting...

my respect to the skicross riders...

 

on the other hand, in Fencing there's a World Cup stage in Sochi (women's Epee), which is normally underway without any sort of boycott (I see Italian, French, German, Japanese, even Estonian athletes competing)...

 

I think IOC should at least say something about it, we can't have International Federations doing whatever they want (FIE is basically owned by Alisher Usmanov, one of the Russian Oligarchs close to "Uncle Vlad"...obviously they won't do anything if someone doesn't force them to)...

They won't happen though, since FIS cancelled all remaining World Cup events in all of their sports in Russia.

The IOC has urged all sporting bodies to cancel events in Russia.
