Support Ivan! Support Russia! Before you blame Russia you should see what US has done to Russia, Afghanistan, Syria and so many other countries that was ruined by USA.

I think he has steroids for brains

That's a guy

Pearl clutching

Putinjugend

How is even allowed to compete?

Ivan is Putin's rent boy.

Cancel him.

Shameful. He should be banned from future games. Schmuck!

Wie alt ist er? Wusste er, was er tat?

Send this little💩to Ukraine and we'll see if he still wants to wear that Z.

I wish I looked like her when I was her age & I was a farm boy in the 60’s.

He should of got KOd in front of the world.

He is waiting for Putin hero’s welcome at home . Dictators have same mindset doesn’t mind the language they speak or ethnic or religious background .

According to the Russian Ministry of Defence, the 'Z' symbol means 'for the victory'. Some military experts have hypothesized the symbols are identifying marks used to reduce friendly fire, and have compared the symbols to invasion stripes used in the Normandy landings in WWII

It’s the Zorro sign

He should be banned

Stupid kid! They let you compete and you even placed. Now you have nothing. It was probably the last time you will ever be allowed to be compete for for your home country. Flag or no flag!

Bravo. He knows it's the fault of the west. The US and Canada need to mind their own business. If you want to point fingers, point west

Good to know he supports wanton destruction of innocent people.

Utterly dispicable; IQ of a shrimp no doubt..

No matter what you think of his opinion you should be against his censorship or investigation unless you don’t believe in free speech. Free speech means the ability to express your opinion (know matter what it is) freely. Sad it’s come to this.

Third-tier Ivan was merely being the nine-year-old that he is. But he wants to grow up, one day, to be an oligarch.

That simbol mens nothing. This one means something...

Too bad the Ukrainian gold medalist didn't just kick him in the ass.

How is he allowed to compete?!

Ban him for life.

Wonder how he will feel if conscripted

His smirk tells it all he thinks he’s superior disgusting

Why was he still allowed to compete? I thought most sports associations had thrown out the Russians and Belarusians already.

He should be disqualified!

Just ban all Russian athletes from everything. Let them complain to their little Hitler boss.

He should be banned from international competition for life. StandWithUkraine PutinWarCrimes

You wouldn't think the little russian loser would want to advertise that he came in third, behind the first place Ukrainian.

He should be stripped of his medal.

Homie is 1 for 14 against Ukrainian gymnastics

The Z stands for 'Z'illion missiles on the way

Your perception, is your reality.

So that's what a brainwashed boy looks like.

He’s a kid who doesn’t understand the horror of war. Send him to the Ukraine and have him hop refugees get to Poland.

Wow - is this Berlin 1936? Oh yeah, the basic nature of man hasn’t changed in 5000 years….

Why was he allowed to participate?

CBC when are you going to write about the biological and nuclear weapons that were developed by Ukraine since 2014 in cooperation with the USA This is also illegal under a number of international treaties against proliferation of these types of armament.

JacquotLeGrand I mean HE should be banned

JacquotLeGrand She should be banned

Vive la Russie ET ce jeune homme Ivan Kuliak !

Life time ban for this die hard! No excuse for this! What is there to be investigated?

Ty kurwo jeeeeebana!

So young and already brainwash ...sad !🤦‍♂️

That smug young man looks like a mini Putin. That’s a lot of repugnant bravado for someone so young.😟

Pro Russian isn't illegal. You can't vote for me to change my feelings.

Expected? Grow some guts, take away the medal!

Should be banned for life in ALL athletic events. No mercy, just like poutine.

It was either this or wait for his failed roid drug test.

how sad all this savage killing by russians - why was he even there - sorry but this proves many like this dictator and his killing ways maybe if Ukraine sent missiles to moscow they would think differently

Why was he allowed to compete wearing this?

Little ignoramus who knows nothing - he looks like a naive baby though he would be getting the real story from news in Qatar about what’s really happening so if that’s the case- somethings wrong with him🤨

Soviet Union's propaganda worked as good as this time. WWII all over again.

He should be banned!!

He should be gone!!!

Look at the face…he absolutely knows what he’s doing…little s…t!

I was going to say something about how we cant trust anything the Russians say as that state owns the media and uses that control to only release what information they what they want us to hear. Then I realized I was on the CBC twitter account and thought I had better zip it

And who gives a shit about Ivan.

👎

Take him and educate this child on what is actually happening. Q/Fox/Rogan style propaganda broadcasting is what brainwashed him.

What a disgrace of gymnast, deserved to be disqualified

Why not go and fight amongst your brothers, Ivan?

Sad to see how well Russian propaganda has worked in Russia and how they’ve seeped into the minds of others around the world

Ban for life

Russian athletes should be banned forever because all the Ukrainians that have been killed are ….gone forever.

He might not have put that there.

Speaking of which, does anyone know what that Z is supposed to stand for, in Russian!? just curious... 🤨

Why was he even allowed to participate.......?

That's a new swastika. And the Russians made it easy enough to draw with one simple letter. At least they were considerate enough to use the least used letter in the English language so the impact is brought to the minimum level.

I think he won the Most Punchable Face Award, tho.

Disqualify him!

WHY IS HE COMPETING? Russia shouldn’t be taking part at all.

Disqualify him and sand him back to Russia on the next plane.

The new Swastika
