I feel like 90% of Israeli gymnasts and figure skaters are basically Russian or Ukrainian Jews to begin with Yes it’s really been a while since someone that was born and raised here , represented us in those events, so for us it’s a win win, and besides that the attention is now given to the “Israeli bobsleigh team “ which includes 2 Jewish guys and 3 Druze Israeli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdr4332 149 Posted August 10, 2021 #143 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Now Maria Sakharova (officially MFA spokeswoman but in practice more like a media troll) is also whining about the lost RG gold medals: https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1111418/rhythmic ROC officially complain about rhythmic gymnastics result as Foreign Ministry spokesperson wades into row Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,192 Posted August 10, 2021 #145 Share Posted August 10, 2021 How nice, same thing as with track cycling and GB.

If you think that what happened at the Olympics was bad enough, you should remember what happened in your own country. In short, a Filipino gymnast was given a gold medal she never deserved because the event was staged in the Philippines. Now, this is what I call bad judging and robbery towards the host nation. What happened at the Olympics was perfectly normal. Watch this: Gianlu33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m really not seeing any knowledgeable neutral observers call this result into question. The most I’ve seen is people criticizing the rhythmic code of points.

This is a far cry from the figure skating 2002 OG fiasco. Yeah, there are some Americans competing here but they are merely also-runs. I'm pretty sure Russia will bounce back to win more golds in Paris since they have most depth overall. It's only a matter of time. Remember how that won table tennis gold in Athens? That was supposed to be the end of dominance. It was anything but Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
