Some news about Russia

 

Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov has described reports saying that some clean Russian athletes could be barred from the Winter Olympics as "frustrating news" expressing the hope that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will clarify the situation.

"Indeed, we saw this frustrating news in media reports. We would find it regrettable if such decisions have already been made," the Kremlin spokesman told reporters. "We hope that the situation will be clarified one way or another, because contacts with the IOC are being maintained, though on a limited scale. We hope that during these contacts we will be able to clarify [the situation] with the aforementioned Russian athletes."

Any of this name?

 

one is surely Sergey Ustyugov, who's ban is already confirmed by Russian Minister of Sports Stanislav Pozdnyakov's words to official news agancies (even if he's claiming that Ustyugov's absence in Korea is not due to doping troubles)...

 

2 more should be Denis Yuskov and Pavel Khulizhnikov (speedskating)...

All of them were according to their source. Potentially, every named cited today could be disqualified.

Italian press talks about 111 athletes who have been rejected by the IOC...

not all the names have already been released yet, but they will be in the next few hours...

It's also mentioned a first reaction from Kremlin already shouting for a full boycott of the Olympics from the Russian side...

"Not being included on the invitation list does not necessarily mean that an athlete has been doped"

 

That's how IOC reacted. Honestly, that's ridiculous. 

What joke, Bach destroyed the Olympics. You have a source for it?

    • Lara Malsinier and Alex Insam are junior World Championship medalists from a few years ago. Maybe it was possible to provide them with private teams then and now they could even fight for a single podium from time to time. I mean especially women because there, for example: Canada or France can be in the top, so why not us? Now Rodlauer from Austria has joined the Italian team but for now there is a huge gap to the top and only Sieff and Lara Malsinier are jumping well. There was success in the Summer Grand Prix but with a weak competition. Even 3rd place in a single competition in winter is worth more than winning the LGP with a terrible squad.   It remains to wait but I fear that the most we can count on is a dramatic fight with France and maybe Finland in the mixed competition at the World Championships. Bresadola probably won't return this season, so the inconsistent Insam remains. 
    • When did Kim Min-Seok switch to Hungary?
    • Earlier today, Taiwan beat the USA    Of course it's car from the best US tram but it's still a big deal for Taiwanese baseball
    • And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.
    • There is no snow in Lillehammer 
    • Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.
    • Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.
    • Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan. 
    • There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
    • What good is it to us if we took 4th place and lost an important match? If Constantini was sick, I forgive her, but I'm afraid that the Italian team will not exceed a certain level. Yes, they have made progress since 2022, but they lack that one decisive step to become a class team. Here we lost all important matches with teams at our/higher level: Sui x2, Sco x2, Swe. We only won with the one we were supposed to win with. I don't believe in a medal for this team in Cortina. After 2022, it seemed that Constantini could dominate women's curling, but it didn't happen that way. After Sinner's recent successes, I opened my eyes a bit and started to demand more from our athletes, coaches, and officials. I have no intention of being satisfied with 4th place, because with this approach, you won't achieve anything great.
