Found this on Reddit, so not sure how accurate it is, but knowing the IOC and the ever so few countries willing to host, it could very well be true..

 

"Norway was planning a bid to host for 2022 but withdrew after public outcry as the ludicrous list of IOC's demands became public knowledge.

 

7000 pages with demands and specifications that they tried keeping secret. Among those were these demands:

 

  • Cocktail party with and paid for by the King or local delegation
  • Local clubs at all major arenas with outdoor balcony, restaurant and lounge
  • No non-affiliated brands (sponsors) are allowed to have their logo visible in any broadcast or the village
  • Private IOC lanes on the highway
  • Traffic lights adjusted to prioritize IOC members
  • Private systems at all relevant airports
  • All venues where IOC members are must have access to bars with free high quality liquor and food."

@Olympian1010 and I have been citing this when we joke about Bach and Agenda 2020 here.

Ha, I read that exact comment too.
 

I’m not sure how legit all of those are, but I believe those are close to the official and unofficial criteria.

The Canadian Parliament has voted to label China's treatment of its minority Uighur population as a genocide (the Liberal cabinet, and prime minister did not vote). The motion also included "lobbying the IOC to move the 2022 Winter Olympics outside of China"

According to the principles of Totallympics: politics should never be mixed with sports. 

 

Does totallympics agree or will this post be censored too. :mumble:

"Diplomatic boycott"

US athletes will go but no diplomats or government officials.

If you have to protest this seems a good way to do it.

Won't have an effect on the team.

      Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Simulation

      By avlar · Posted

      I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?

      And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.

      Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.

      If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota?

      Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.

      Russian athletes that have changed nationalities

      By avlar · Posted

      We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.

      AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
