Translation Chairman of the Latvian Olympic Committee Georges Tikmers said that Latvia would not go to the Olympic Games if athletes from Russia and Belarus were allowed to participate in them. “The position of Latvia is that if these Olympic Games were held now and it was expected that athletes from Russia and Belarus would take part in them, I think that the Latvian team would not go to these Games,” Tikmers said on the air of Latvian television.

In the entire history of the Olympics, only two sets of relatives have ever coached at the Olympics and only one set at the same Olympic Games. The van Heumens, father Wim and son Gijs, coached the Dutch men and women respectively in field hockey in 1984. The Bauer brothers coached Canada in ice hockey. Bobby in 1956 and 1960 and Dave in 1964. So no spouses, sets of brothers or sisters or parent and child have ever competed against each other as coaches in any Olympics
