I don't have a problem with the athletes doing it, I'd do the same thing in their situation. Honnestly happy that so many Russian wrestlers found a way to compete anyway.

 

But I am going to put a bit of an asterix next to this being an medal given Chermen Valiev seemingly has no real ties to the country.

 

That being said, fair play for , I am happy they fianlly have an Olympic medal.
