Yep, that's a good one as well. I'm very interested to see how this is gonna work out...in most cases I guess the best option would be to allow these 28 Russians to be registered (apart from retired athletes or, in ice hockey's case, NHL players, if there are any), without having any impact on already qualified athletes. At least I hope that's how it's gonna work in skeleton, then the epic Iron Man vs Superman vs Russian Rocket battle may be back on :d 

 

When was that ever "on"? :p

And those athletes that got in instead of Russians will remain in, just like in Rio... Only now there will be like 22 athletes in women's skeleton and so on (though sadly that means the :NGR Nigerian athlete will likely no longer be able to compete in all four runs...).

 

It's a joke, as at the end they hardly get punished at all (like really, 50km podium remains?!). IPC on the other hand made blanket ban without any fuss, guess why? Because there's no Russian politics involved as much. Olympics obviously have to be different when politics with all that victim of the big bad west charade takes place, making people ignore the real situation.

there is one difference between the IOC and the IPC. Russia did not take away the medals of the Paralympic Games of 2014. That is, all do not care about the Paralympic Games.

    • We have much more events and there may be no Russia in 2026 so most of the NOCs should improve. But not Poland i’m afraid
    • I’ve had 2weeks long Olympic holidays each time since i graduated from the university in ancient times of year 2003   Both winter and summer. Always.   i had those olympic holidays in every job contract 😉
    • For sure better for  one silver - I think it was Shelly Rudman, Skeleton.  Can definitely improve on that.   Still remember it as a good games, though - think it was the first time I took two weeks off work to watch a Winter Games.

    • As a Montreal Canadien fan, I am in agreement. However, he is struggling recently and is demoted to the 4th line this week. Hoping he can turn it around. 
    • I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.
