I really hope that they have changed.

 

naaa...

they didn't change and will never change...

anything else, it's just illusion...

 

to see any change (in general, not only from the Russians), we should get back to real amateur sport...because until there's an economical interest on it, there will always be cheaters all around...

I agree, but I do think that sponsorships are pivotal in funding athletes since many national organizations choose not to, or can not afford. I just wish the IOC used their money for good because they have a butt ton of it just sitting around.

I know and I agree, but I only said that where's money all around, there will be also always someone not playing "fair"...

it's the human nature, I guess...:(:facepalm:

Russia doesnt have a place in sports. All Russians should be banned. All of Russia is shameful cheaters. Russia should always be banned, and humiliated. Until Putin leaves. No politics, only concern for clear athletes

 

The fact that the Russian sport is the cleanest in the world for 4 years and only it is checked, it doesnt matter. We want to see Russia always banned

Am I right, Olympian1010? I see that you are very upset. Well, nothing, think of something else against Russia. Don't worry be happy

I’m for the Russian Federations reinstatement, but I think there should have been stricter terms. My country has a huge dopping problem as well. I think the IOC and WADA need to take stronger action. I’m sorry if my dislike of the decision offended you or other Russian users, that’s just my view.

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
    • If you're still taking suggestions, I tought the following:   Team Madison format.   17 teams of 2 "riders", randomly drawn. Teams can be named for famous "endurance" track cyclists. 4 intermediate "sprints", one after a voting block, in which the top 8 teams will score according to this formula: (10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1). The order in which team score for a sprint are determined by the total number of "medals" won by both members of the team during the block. Ranking will be sorted according to the number of gold medals, then silver, then bronze. If there's two or more teams with same number of points, the medals of best individual performer of each team will be considered to break the tie. If the tie remains, then team's total points during the block will be used to break it. If the team fails to receive a single medal during each block, it will be considered to "lose lap" and 20 points will be substracted from their score. If the team fails to score at least 1 point during each block, it will be an automatic DNF for the team. If both members of the team get a medal from a single jury, it will be considered to "gain lap" and 20 points will be added to their score. A team can only win an additional lap per voting block. After the 4 intermediate, a "final" sprint will be recorded, in which points will be doubled (20, 16, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 & 2). Ranking for the final sprint will take into account the total medals won during the event.   What do you think?
    • I don't medal pick, per se... I assign probabilities/expected-values and total them up. So I don't have a gold medal estimate... but if you want one, divide those numbers by three and you'll be pretty close!   I imagine Norway, Italy and Netherlands and maybe Canada will probably skew a bit higher on golds, and US, Germany, and Sweden will skew a little lower... so maybe: Norway - 14 US - 11 Germany - 11 Italy - 11 Canada - 10 Austria - 8 Netherlands - 8 Japan - 7 Sweden - 6 France.- 6   I was surprised seeing Italy come in that high, I was figuring 22-23, but I guess they've been do well on the World Cups. 
    • If you were to predict top- 10 for the number of gold medals, what would it look like?     For me, as an Italian, any result for Italy: +20 medals would be OK (if that will include 6-7 gold medals). The trauma of Turin 2006 is too great
    • Doesn't really help that two of the strongest countries in that particular sport are banned from the team event for well known reasons.
    • Just another reason why it's super dumb that the NOC max in freestyle skiing isn't 40.
    • In rugby there's More Squidge Rugby (the main channel has proper videos).
