The Olympics will account for 100% of the value this time? I thought it would be 75%?

 

Regardless assuming your scenario happens, Russia will have 2910 points which going by the 2022 Olympics, would put them on the outside.

Yes my bad, you are right it is 75% value for the Olympics (as a a tournament from 1 year back)

 

Also another mistake I made, the 2020 points (there were no WCh that year due pandemic) are not based from the 2019 WCh (those results will not be counted anymore) but from the positions of the countries in the 2020 IIHF ranking (will have the lowest 25% value)

Not sure what this actually means "through August"

 

 

Expect and official announcement from the IIHF shortly. Belarus and Russia will be banned from International play through August. The 2023 World Junior Hockey Championship also pulled out of Russia. Other events beyond summer TBD.

Not yet. The meeting is on Wednesday. The BBC said yesterday the IPC believe they cannot legally expel them but who knows what they will decide. I can see the IPC decking to expel them as then if CAS overturn it they can say we tried blame CAS. CAS’s future is at stake if they make too many unpopular decisions on this crisis.

Its an American saying meaning until at least then. After that things will be decided later.

My opinion is sports should not be conflicted with politics. It is fair they cancelled all competitions, especially due to safety reasons. But it is definitely not right to punish athletes, who do not have nothing with political actions of their "leader". It is plain stupid and unfair.

The British Paralympic committee has called on Russians and Belarussians to be kicked out of the Games.

The IIHF Council has suspended all Russian and Belarusian national and club teams from IIHF competitions until further notice and withdrew the hosting rights of the 2023 #WorldJuniors from Russia.

There's really no way to disconnect those two, sadly. Russia have been using sports for political purpose quite a lot.

 

Personally I wouldn't mind Russian athletes participating as long as they unconditionally go against the invasion and show up without anything russian. Meanwhile people like Karjakin and Viatjeslav Barkov should be kept far away from international events.

 

But also, I do think the IOC has a decent point. The invasion keeps Ukrainian athletes away as their country is under attack. Then let's keep the attacking nations away as well.
