It's foolish to think that the US would ever get this kind of treatment if they start a war anywhere. I wouldn't even blame racism why there wouldn't be boycotts in the case of another war in the Midd

Why Azerbaïdjan has not been banned by any sport federation ? Lack of twitter outrage ? ...

Because it will probably split the Olympic movement in two.

I don't really think so. Olympics is all about money these days so I don't see too many nations interested in creating separate Games at all.

 I'll believe the boycott crap when i see it happening,because all that it has been up to now is talking,where are the megastars saying they won't compete If the Russians are allowed in?,i don't hear them.

 

Also Europe is not big enough to cause a split,Africa and Asia exist. ''diversity,diversity'' i keep hearing,guess what ? they don't give one tiny piece of shit about this and there huge[bigger] parts of the olympic movement,if Europe is dumb enough to do this,that doesn't mean the games will be cancelled,because guess what that would mean ? That All the talk about diversity is ''woke pr and ONLY EUROPEANS AND AMERICANS MATTER'',oh that would go over so well,with the rest of the planet and athletes,i'm sure no one would have anything to say about it,right ?

Ukraine is a mid-tier nation in judo, anyone who cares about judo should care that a mid tier nation will miss the World Championships who already suffered enough in a defensive war against a nation led by a madman. Putin's favorite sport is judo and many of his judokas are military personnel. So being this dismissive on the issue is quite insensitive. It's baffling to see this coming from a Lithuanian as NATO is only reason why you are fortune enough to not have the same faith as Ukraine.

Clearly they decided they weren't that important then,as it seems many sports have,proving this whole ''Make the Russians wonder what's going on by banning them in Sport'' idea was a flop from the beginning,you cannot actually tell me that  EVERY SINGLE SPORT that is bringing the Russians back is influenced by them,and if somehow it is,than boy was this idea stupid to ever be attempted in the first place.

 

And yeah,i will reject the idea that Nato is the reason ''why we don't have the same faith'',we have fewer Russians than countries around  us and despite whatever shit talking our goverment does,people get along fine here,and spare me the Nato crap,Russia would roll over us in less than 24 hours,Nato most likely wouldn't even be quick enough to help.Personally i watch sports because i like to watch sports,not because i want to be fed propoganda by whichever side,and yes WE[Lithuania] are a US colony that is not up for discussion,i was anti Russia in my teen years,i'm not anymore,because i'm not gonna sit here and pretend i know everything because the news tells me what's happening.''insensitive'' too bad,so sad,i'm not with the majority here call me when i give a f....

Seriously, why do admins here continue to allow users in the forum that brings so much of foul language and curses... It's like bestman all over again...

 

P.S. - don't you love when someone sells their personal views as a point of view on behalf of entire nation. :)

      Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Simulation

      By avlar · Posted

      I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?

      And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.

      Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.

      hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?

      If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota?

      Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.

      Russian athletes that have changed nationalities

      By avlar · Posted

      We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.

      AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
