I can not anymore with all this suspense ! They were basically on “double-secret probation,” but now they have a codified suspension. I think it’s still too early to decide on participation for Milano-Cortina 2026. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Monzanator 3,600 Posted October 12, 2023 #984 Share Posted October 12, 2023 The next deadline is the US President elections in 2024. If USA pulls the military & economic support from Ukraine then the war will take a massive shift in Russian favor and that's what Putin is counting on right now. Then you might expect all the sporting suspensions lifted en masse in 2025. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
