Perhaps the russians will start to swim in other countries (Doha?) and finally will get their quotas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the russians will start to swim in other countries (Doha?) and finally will get their quotas. Russia is still in murky standing with WADA, which might explain why events aren't being "green-lighted" by World Aquatics. Pasolini 1 “Sport has the power to change the world.

Given the total amount of zero (0) Palestine boxers in Olympic history, I doubt that's going to be an issue. Unless I'm really missing someone who is qualifying for 2024 and doing so in a weight class with a significant chance of meeting an Israeli athlete.

Our olympic head is extreamlly reluctant to go against the ioc,so honestly it might be with a lot of grumbling but we're probably gonna be there with how few Lithuanians will make it in.
