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. :)

    • Some of the small nations have competed in the past but usually lost 30-0 to the Aussies
    • Officials persons (include Head) of RLF are still in ban. For example, Vaelbe has spoken even more terrible words but, however, CAS obliged to gave them AIN status. And it's the same situation here - FIL must to implement CAS's decision. But it's not clearly FIL's criterias for AIN status and that too strange
    • For Modern Pentathlon, it's interesting that Africa only gets one continental championship spot, considering how well Egypt does in the event.  (But then again, it's max 2 athletes per NOC per gender.)  Presuming that an Egyptian wins the African CCh, I suppose their performance in the other major competitions will allow the second competitor to come through.
    • Statement from the president of the russian Luge federation (yesterday): "Our team is in Kazakhstan and is preparing to apply for U.S. visas. We are setting an example for our entire country, especially for the younger generation. They see that a difficult path is not a reason to give up. It teaches perseverance. In this perseverance lies our shared strength, our mission to millions of young people for whom sports are a guiding point and a shining star. I believe in our country, in our strong-spirited guys. I sincerely love and respect our president, Vladimir Putin. He is the best president in the world. May God grant him strength and good health."   Do they deserve neutral status?
    • I did not think it would happen again but... I created similar post for Paris - 2024 https://totallympics.com/forums/topic/27489-ain-athletes-qualification-for-paris-2024-olympic-games-and-reallocation-of-quotas-post1-updated-1507/#comments  I was not sure if that reallocations would really happen but the reality was even more serious than the expectations. According to this research 43% of the neutral statuses issued by the IFs were fake AIN  - https://razom22.com/neutrality-research/  And the figures are based on the IOC decisions - not on the evaluations by Ukrainian NOC or sport ministry. Right now the situation is absolutely unclear. As usually )) Some notes: 1. Russians will not reject quotas for 2026 as they did for 2024 in judo and wrestling. 2. AINERP may be more loyal to russians due to the new member - Watanabe. His federation issued AIN status to Melnikova who took part in the primaries of the russian ruling party, had phots with Z and e .t.c. 3. I do not expect a lot of reallocations becaues of the total small number of the rus/blr athletes in qualification events right now. 4. BUT, even with these small numbers we see that FIS allowed to compete several incompliant persons.        Short notes from the IOC statement before Paris - 2024:   1. IOC`s decisions to reject quotas are final. 2. IOC`s decisions to approve quotas are not final - new facts may lead to the rejection of invitation. 3. IOC`s decisions cannot be appealed - NOCs were not invited to the Games, so it is a good will to invite individual athletes... or not   russians Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Adeliia PETROSIAN Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC Figure skating Petr GUMENNIK Men's singles Davide Lewton Brain Confirmed by IOC belorussians     Sports Athlete(s) Discipline Possible Reallocation NOC IOC Decision + IF reallocation if happened Figure skating Viktoriya SAFONOVA Women's singles Stefania Yakovleva Confirmed by IOC  
    • 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?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • 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.
