Is Kuchina allowed to compete? Hopefully not ...

Is there actually any russian athlete that isnt allowed to compete?

Does IAAF think that everyone forgot that the whole russian team is dirty or do they just not care what the people who finance this sport think?

Normally I'd love to watch both, but U18 WCH this year is sort of a B-tournament because of the many absent nations and European U23....I don't know, if it's live on TV I'll watch it  (and in the end I'll end up watching U18 WCH as well of course  )

Apparently you have missed the part where Kuchina got married, became Lasitskene and has been competing as a neutral athlete in international competitions for quite some time now, absolutely dominating the women's high jump while coming only 3cm from the world record?
