Russia-Ukraine Crisis Consequences in Sports


Recommended Posts

  • 3 weeks later...

being :ITA under IOC's blackmail because of the 2026 Winter Olympics, our NOC's President, Giovanni Malagò (also IOC member), said earlier Today that the Government is ready to allow :RUS and :BLR atheltes to enter the Italian territory for all the sports competitions held in our Country, especially those who should take part into the World Fencing Championships in Milan at the end of July.

 

by the way, they will be allowed only according to the IOC rules, which means complete neutrality and not being part of Russian clubs related to the National Army nor to the companies currently sanctioned by EU and/or UN*.

 

and no teams (which is a bad blow for them in terms of Olympic qualification, since it's based mainly on the team events).

 

*Sofya Pozdniakova, daughter of the great Stanislav (now President of the Russian OC), is among those who won't be allowed to compete in any case (the only -big- name of Russian fencing made by Malagò after today's press conference).

according to russian news sites, trio Pozdniakova-Velikaya-Yegoryan isn't eligible for competitions

yes, all the athletes registered for CSKA/SKA are not eligible, as they aren't those registered for clubs owned by the sanctioned companies like Gazprom and many more.

2020 OG bronze medallist in high jump :BLR Maksim Nedasekau gets the visa & residence in Poland ban - a decision made by our Foreign Ministry (more related to another hard labor camp sentence for Polish minority in Belarus leader Andrzej Poczobut but the war is still mentioned).

Russian Armed Forces sergeant stuns world number one at IJF Dushanbe Grand Prix (insidethegames.biz)

 

Assuming this story is correct and Bashaev is a sergeant in the Russian army, how the hell did he qualify as a neutral athlete???? :question:

    • Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)  
    • That's what I'd plan as well (except for MelFest), but I also know I am hypocritical enough to still want to watch the show and have a fun evening  
    • Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.  
    • Got our first competition of the season coming up in Solitude, Utah  this weekend.  Live on Discovery Plus etc, plus also YouTube and the Olympic Channel.  If you are new to the sport, the sprint races on Saturday will be the format you'll find easy to understand.     ISMF   ISMF Skimo - YouTube    
    • Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
    • @Josh skimo mixed relay is on Saturday, not Sunday, FYI
    • ... this week, time depending.   Today (Dec 5) 4:00pm: Swimming US Open - Finals 9:00pm: Freestyle Skiing WC Big Air Beijing  9:30pm: Snowboard WC Parallel Giant Slalom Mylin   Dec 6 2:00am: Snowboard WC Big Air Beijing 6:45am: Freestyle Skiing WC Aerials Ruka 4:00pm: Swimming US Open - Finals 9:30pm: Snowboard WC Parallel Giant Slalom Mylin   Dec 7 7:30am: Freestyle Skiing WC Moguls Ruka 9:45am: Ski Mountaineering WC Soltitude Mixed Relay   Dec 8 6:30am: Freestyle Skiing WC Moguls Ruka   Dec 9   Dec 10   Dec 11 4:45am: Ski Cross WC Val Thorens 7:00pm: Snowboard Halfpipe WC Secret Garden   Bills, Warriors, and Canucks (have a headache, can't be bothered to put it in...)   No Elite 16 beach volleyball, weak field and most of the top teams have shut down their seasons already. No Snow League Freeski Finals, Heerenveen Speed Skating WC, Alpine Skiing WC either. 
    • Oh dear oh dear.  Going to be ructions with this one.  Established international diver Sofia Lyskun wants to transfer from..... to !     Somehow I think the three year rule will be enforced.   Sofiia Lyskun: Ukrainian federation 'expresses deep indignation' after champion diver switches to Russia - BBC Sport
