Fly_like_a_don 936 Posted March 9 #61 Share Posted March 9 What a poor match to end the day felt both players should have been disqualified. Patrick Divkovic came from a round down to win next 2 by 0-0 margin on superiority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pasolini 142 Posted March 9 #63 Share Posted March 9 58 minutes ago, avlar said: Thomas Bach visited personally ITF meeting where they decided to allow russian and belorussian tennis players to take part in doubles and mixed. The reason - they quallify not as a team but according to their persoanal rankings. That is the difference with other cases. Very controversial decision. So right now it is up to russian government whether to send athletes ot not. 2 most possible outcomes: 1. They send athletes only in a small number of events (wrestling, taekwondo, judo, tennis) where they have real chances to get medals. 2. Athletes "themselves" refuse to take part in the games under the proposed conditions (of course they will be just instructed what to say, like before 1984 Olympics). Where you saw this decision regarding doubles and mixed? I could only find this note which basically says the same thing we all know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, so you wanna that they can participate doubles as Neutral athletes? So lets say, that mixed doubles pair could easily be for example Aryna Sabalenla and Andrey Rublev ?? 😳😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess European Taekwondo is effectively allowing all Russians now. Adriano, copravolley, stepansevs and 3 others 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
