Funny thing is, Jap girl will almost certainly be beaten by a cheating 15-year old Russian, who really should be banned by now, but isn’t, because the IOC is weak as piss, and doesn’t want to “anger” Putin…
Even more amusingly, if said Russian (Salieva) medals, there is no medal ceremony, because of the bullshit legalese the IOC invented to justify the whole thing…
Absolute clown world.
This whole Olympics has been the biggest joke since Rio, or maybe even Sochi… 🤦🏻♂️
Must admit, Canada and the US failing in both the curling and the men’s hockey has brought me some degree of shadenfreude though, lol…
Not exactly what I said…
The Russian cheating is pretty much irrefutable, at this point (unless you’re Russian, perhaps). As is the fact that the IOC is scared that fucking with Russia will goad him into doing something stupid in Ukraine…
Sochi and Rio were debacles. Clusterfucks. That is also a simple fact. 🤷🏻♂️
Russia isn’t “the enemy”, here, but Jesus it would be nice if they a) stopped fucking cheating, and b) didn’t keep threatening a sovereign country of 40 million people, who do not want to be Russian subjects…
Christ, man, it’s not that hard… 🤦🏻♂️🙄
The Russians have been cheating for decades. Hell, they were the first to use anabolic steroids which prompted the Americans to start using them top.
They don't want to piss off a major country who will probably be a host nation in the future and/or might stop sending athletes.
They don't give a shit about any invasions or anything.
I don’t. But apparently the IOC lawyers do (think it might contribute)… 🤷🏻♂️
You underestimate how much Russia cares about that damn medal tally, and figure skating in general…
That’s the media explanation for the IOC’s “decision” (partly), anyway…
Take it as you will.
what about the ones who DO?
