here we disagree 100%, we in POL care a lot about this "conflict" (i have other words for that) but maybe we are biased - we have this war just around our corner, we know many UKR people, we have boarder both with UKR and RUS, this is not an easy situation

 

but ofc not many people here care about Lampedusa and stuff like that, this is far away from here and so on...

afaik Poland is part of EU 

 

unfortunately, Italy is also another place where the  vs  conflict is still on top of the headlines (actually, here anything's good not to talk of the Italian people's daily troubles...so, you only find international conflicts and women/family murders on our media)

The only thing missing are pills and syringes to symbolize Russian athletes' relentless state-sponsored doping.

In which sports, besides fencing, judo, boxing, wrestling, cycling and rowing RUS and BLR athletes still can try qualify? I remember all those federations allowed them to return as neutrals, same about gymnastics, but I doubt that they will qualify there as WCH are done and European Gymnastics Union didnt allowed them to compete in qualification events. How it can be in aquatic sports?

Badminton technically gives 'neutral athletes' 2 months to qualify (if BWF is actually true to its words). And realistically only 2 Russians can qualify (one each in men's singles and women's singles) from that limited time frame, Belarus does not care about this sport.

Well like i said,our olympic committee head does not see a boycott as a good idea.
