but this is interesting to see Dina Pouryounes is listed under WT, she participated for the Netherlands before and under their flag in World and European Championships, so what happened to her ? now she is 3rd in the World Ranking, why she is countryless again ?!

She is apparently competing with the Dutch team, or at least mentioned in one of the rare articles about this together with the other Dutch athletes, but no idea why she's not officially competing for the Netherlands now.

That whole Iran situation is so sad

 

Iranians not allowed to compete in GBR this time because stupid politics, Kosovo's athletes not allowed to compete in Spain earlier because stupid politics, Israeli athletes not allowed to compete in several countries before because things. The world sucks.

Nah, the British don't have a blanket ban on all Iranians, the worst are those countries that organize European or World Championships despite already knowing that all athletes of a recognized national federation won't be allowed to enter.

They are arguably bad, with this being a prime example, but not the worst. If they were the worst, for starters Iranians would not have competed in that other big event there a few months ago, like countries that systematically refuse to allow athletes from other countries to participate in any event because politics.

 

Pathetic situation anyway.

yes, saying it over and over will make it true. I give you guys the task of reminding me daily that the British are the worst in case I wake up one day forgetting that the British are the worst of the worst because whatever happens it's very important to always keep in the mind that the British are worst.

The british are fine to me, just not the tories. 

 

As for their hosting capabilities, this is an outlier I think.
