I understand it so:

- No Russian/Belarus Athletes in Otepää anyway 

- Start for them under neutral flag in Kontiolahti and Oslo (so far), if the IBU invites them 

Over in the skating thread they’re saying that the Norwegians are not letting Russians enter the country, so I imagine it’s the Russian Cup for the rest of the season.

This is all going to end up at CAS.

It’s not a sporting matter but a political decision. They’re probably not letting any Russian passports in.

CAS have gotten involved in these decisions before. Depends on how the contracts for the tournaments have been drawn up. The Olympics has clauses preventing countries banning entry on nationality grounds. There is also the other issue that Russia could argue at CAS that  ranking points are being denied on nationality grounds. It could get very messy if they push it and we all know Russia loves going to CAS.

Looks like there will be no Russians in Kontiolahti or Oslo:

It’s a bit confusing but it sounds like CAS action is set to happen.

Hey, I'm here for the post-Olympic sauce.

 

It is quite common that there are a lot of retirements after Olympic years, so I was wondering perhaps anybody has heard anything from their teams?

 

Wikipedia says Weger, Puskarčikova and Dunklee as of now.

 

I think Lithuania could have some possible retirements as well after this tough year.

Wierer, most likely...

 

she said she is going to take her decision during the Summer break, but I think in her heart she's already made her choice...and I fear it's not the one all of her fans would like to know...

    • Donald J. Trump’s posts   Pinned               Donald J. Trump   @realDonaldTrump · Nov 5   Your vote will lead us to Greatness. Your vote will unleash a new GOLDEN AGE! Your vote will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE! VOTE TRUMP! #VotedForTrump #Election2024
    • The Democrats have only themselves to blame for the outcome. However, just to think what were two candidates for a president of the most powerful country is just laughable. The meltdown of European countries on these results is quite a popcorn moment though, love to see it, especially the German one.  Also, someone said RIP Ukraine, RIP Palestinians - like Palestinians were doing so well over the past year while Democrats were still in charge, so now is gonna be even worse? Yeah, Trump might not be as generous in helping Ukraine though.   
    • because jews decide everything in USA , no matter voters are ...have you ever heard about "tampering"...jews killed Kennedy  , Monica Iivinsky sucked Bill Clinton , Satanyahu did put an item of spy into the toilet of Boris Johnson ..etc ...etc ,   tampering votes shocked you
    • What I'm surprised at here is that the sunrise and sunset both change by 27/28 minutes over those two weeks, providing almost an hour more of sunlight from the beginning of the Games to the end. I didn't realize it changed that fast. Growing up in Canada, I always felt like one day in late October we suddenly got 4 hours less sunlight, and one day in early April we suddenly got 4 hours more.

    • He's a businessman and the world simply doesn't remember what the world looks like when USA adopts isolationism. Trump will get involved if only he can make a profit. And his #1 geopolitical enemy is China. Not Russia, North Korea or Iran but China. Modern society especially in Europe simply doesn't understand that becuse nobody is old enough to remember the Monroe Doctrine which predates fascism by a full century. I don't think even in USA they call James Monroe a fascist
    • Fans of FC Heidenheim making a lot of noise outside my front window just now.  
    • Vast majority of Americans will disagree with you. That's all that counts. I dont see many differences in so called fascism between democrats and republicans. Both were bombing any country they picked, both were ruining systems they wanted to.  I prefer reds more because they are at least honest about it. Also, i dont like what this ultraliberalism brought to our whole Earth. Whoever opposes this level of insanity will have my vote.  
    • YEC Semi-Finals are set:   Aryna Sabalenka vs Cori Gauff Barbora Krejcikova vs Zheng Qinwen   Krecikova beating Gauff in two sets means Iga Świątek was eliminated with 2-1 record. Sabalenka clinched Year-End #1 after winning the first two matches and Świątek not winning all three RR matches before already.
    • He is fascist. Even use the same narration like famous german/Austrian painter.
