China will be top 5 in the medal table here too just like in the previous summer olympics/paralympics and winter olympics.

I suspect by Friday either Russia will have been expelled or other countries will withdraw in protest. Going to be a very bumpy week for the IPC.

More calls to ban Russia and Belarus. Ukraine have nit yet withdrawn but i suspect they will if Russia and Belarus are not excluded. The IPC believe they cannot legally expel Russia or Belarus.
