Sweet Not really kicking out, but at some point probably being forced to let their employee go. And getting in big financial (and so existential) troubles as well due to not having their Russian money anymore, which is basically what the 'American' team has been running on. Although if they're actually opting to kick Mazepin out by their own choice, seeing Haas go down would be kind of sweet. Too bad for the other employees though.. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like a boycott will be announced tomorrow. If 20+ nations withdraw the IPC would surely have to at least attempt a u turn or face a games with only China, Russia, Belarus and few others competing. But IPC already made a very clear statement. Athletes can compete, but under the Paralympic flag, nothing Russian/Belarussian. Excellent. Countries who still want to boycott the whole thing because even that's not enough, go right ahead.
