rafalgorka 1,400 Posted December 8, 2023 #602 Share Posted December 8, 2023 BBC: " However, World Athletics said its position remains unchanged, with athletes, support personnel and officials from Russia and Belarus remaining excluded "from all World Athletics Series events. We will continue to monitor the situation, but unless there is a major change in circumstances between now and the Olympic Games, this exclusion will apply to Paris 2024," World Athletics said.

rafalgorka 1,400 Posted December 8, 2023 #608 Share Posted December 8, 2023 They say 11 BLRUS athletes are qualified. Do these people - one by one - fulfill IOC entry criteria? No support for the invasion, no military connection??? btw, fun fact: BLR and RUS are basically one country now , they will perform under the same flag now somehow, you must admit there is some logic in it - one country one flag heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
