It's connected with doping violations but we have 1 solved case with Marushchak who has been banned for not 4 years. That's gave us chance to be at the Paris, but the things are heated

10. Medina Taimazova



Tokyo Olympics bronze medalist Medina Taimazova was approved by the IJF as a neutral athlete. This "neutral" judoka is happy to be photographed for Russian propaganda outlets standing next to the image of dictator Putin and the military symbol Z.

In April 2022, Taimazova participated in a propaganda event called "a master class for young judokas from Donbass". Information about this was posted on the St. Petersburg Judo Federation Instagram page. That is, Ukrainian children were illegally taken to Russia. In fact, they were kidnapped. And the "neutral athlete" Taimazova contributed to the abduction with her "master class" and helped to turn it into a propaganda PR campaign.

During this propaganda event, some of the children can be seen having the abbreviation DPR written on their backs, which stands for the name of the terrorist organization "Donetsk People's Republic".

12. Ivan Litvinovich

Litvinovich called on Belarusians to vote in Lukashenko's illegal referendum.

He took part in a propaganda events together with the Lukashenko's son Viktor.

11. Inal Tasoev

"Neutral" world champion Inal Tasoev followed on Instagram one of the Russian occupiers - Vladislav Kachmazov.

n addition, Tasoev liked Kachmazov’s picture from the war showing him in military uniform, with a weapon and with the military symbol Z on his cap.

Also, after being at the war, Kachmazov posted a joint photo with Tasoev on his profile and tagged him in this photo.

Tasoev also liked a video on Kachmazov's page dedicated to another Russian occupier eliminated in Ukraine, Akhmat Zaseev.

He liked a similar video on another page too. Again, Tasoev liked a post by another user about the death of one more occupier, as well as a post about the Russian aggression against Georgia in 2008.

Oh my Gosh this is a hillarious response to this cringe info 

what is the forum's view if you're banned permanently from here?

Well, yes. But what do we want to win if our best fencer refuses to fence to our team at the huge amount of competitions? Hopefully, he is not going to the qualifiers, because he did not deserve it at all. 

First of all, where is your leader Xiao Ruien? With her Canadian team would be much stronger and more competitive. 
 
Secondly, be honest: did your girls really fight against USA knowing that the only result for them to be at the Olympics is to lose to USA? Absolutely not, they lost by a biggest margin in the R16 amongst all of the teams. 
 
Ukraine was in exactly the same situation, because we need to lose to Poland to qualify them at the Olympics and lower the chances of USA. And guess what? We ain't playing dirty and won, moving onto semifinals with idea that only victory at this WC stage can be for us suitable (not knowing the result of Italy vs USA). 
 
So this is thee difference and in case of both Estonia and Ukraine we would qualify by our own effort and not by the help of other, especially without losing to them on purpose. 

Estonia is out and now it's a fight between Ukraine and USA, let's see 

And he gets medal 

And 2 dumb ugly pro-war c.nts, bladceva, and lebedieva will be at the Olympics, while Malkova will be at home watching OG without her mom. It's devastating news and I hate the approach of FIG to russians, it's unfair to Ukrainians. 

Ukrainian athlete Svitlana Malkova did not start today at the Trampoline World Cup in Cottbus because yesterday russian rocket killed her mother in the city of Mykolaiv.
 
Fair Olympic qualification, surely...

Yeah, I agree but I try to think in the positive half-glass-full way.
In the past everybody was assumed to be straight until they had their official coming out.
Nowadays it is still the same, but through instagram and other social media you can see athletes comfortable enough to show same-gender boyfriends/girlfriends even if they don't see themselves as ambassadors etc.
 
We have to remember that most of them have spent their entire lives focused on sport, so they many times are unaware of major social issues or just don't have the strength/time/abilities to do that.
 
That's why I like that IOC NOCs and affiliates (such as IOA) are creating more educational programs for the athletes.

I kinda adore the Latin America's countries culture, so yeah, I love bright representation of Brazilian scene
