When the British Government says soon it’s not ruling out recommending a GB boycott people might finally see what might happen. People on here don’t understand how things are in the UK.

OMG,THE UK IS BOYCOTTING,THE WORLD IS ENDING,i don't think you realize how many people will not care.

that´s all nice and all that IOC decided to announce something in the case, but sadly, completely unimportant and irrelevant... when will they finally decide about the most important thing and finally say the decision for Milano/Cortine 2026 ? This IOC is really trying to give me heart failure. This waiting is unbearable

Pressure growing on sponsors as well.

From who?,I can assure you Ukrainian politicians and athletes don't count,if there feelings were all that mattered,i imagine this would not be the outcome.

Apparently the Tokyo Olympics never happened either. Or else your predictions were completely and utterly trash …..

It won't happen - it be cancelled once a few countries withdraw their entire delegations.

Any nation besides Ukraine won't boycot unless maybe when Ukraine asks them. And even then it is only maybe at best.

 

What I think is most problematic is that many of these Russian athletes could have doped themselves to hell and back the last years because there was no regulation whatsoever. Really helps in training. On the other hand, missing relevant international competition really sets back, so maybe it evens out.

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

Why specifically in combat sports, and not in other sports?

Some people here still believe in the Olympic boycott?

No, one person does, because he needs a reason for every single Olympics to fail in some way, preferably by being cancelled, and for Paris this is the most obvious to have under his Ctrl + V  

 

Oh well, everyone is entitled to their fun I suppose

 Either they might refuse to compete or in the much more entertaining case,might turn out to be a bloodbath,probably option one so the Iran/israel thing
