No, it isn't. I'm curious what your Ctrl + V thing is going to be for Cortina 2026 by the way  

people are clearly unable to grasp that the IOC has killed the Olympics today by letting the Russians back.

Only Ukraine will boycot probably.

Alright. Which reminds me, almost 2024, meaning the vacation system for next year will open up at work, so it's almost time to register three weeks of Olympics vacation  

 

Which is significantly more likely to happen than a (mass) boycott, by the way  

 

Still super curious what your "Cortina 2026 will fail/be cancelled" pitch is going to be.

35 countries signed a letter going to not attend the Olympics if Russians were they but everyone seems to be forgetting that

I don’t think they will

 

the problem will be when they have to face BLRUS in combat sports …

If a non-frequently-tested BLRUS athletes win M and/or HJ event in athletics I will be angry to put it mildly
