Ukraine hopes to secure widespread international support for banning Russian and Belarusian athletes from the Paris Olympics due to Moscow's is open to including Russian and Belarusian athletes as neutrals at the 2024 Games and has opened a door to them competing in qualifiers.
The 51-year-old won an Olympic fencing team gold in 1992, was junior saber champion in the old Soviet Union four years before that, and coached Ukraine's winning team at the 2008 Games.athletes and coaches have died in the war, Huttsait said, with over 340 sports facilities damaged or ruined. Moscow says its "special military operation" in Ukraine is to protect its own security, denies accusations of atrocities, and says any push to squeeze it out of global sport will fail.The IOC's previous recommendation to ban Russians and Belarusians has been applied by many sports federations.
Athletes shouldn’t suffer for government malfeasance
Ukraine is becoming more annoying by the day!! Zelensky needs to sit down!
Definitely and do it swifter,higher and stronger than the last time. No compete under Olympic flag either.
enough now with what that losing country wants
The Olympics are for the Boomers.
They should be banned so...GO UKRAINE GO!
Lol what
Seriously? THAT’S what’s important?
Why not repot on this instead of criminal and corrupt Ukraine.
50 Anglo saxon white racist nations with Nazi Ukraine trying to do it. But nothing for Anglo Saxons that invaded middle east and murdered over 30 million woman and children since WW2 That's Nazis .
The entire world now takes orders from whiny Zelensky? ok, got it
Yeah ! Talk about something productive ... When they could speak about a PEACE TREATY instead, huh ? Loosers
The Ukraine is not the world police and they should fight their own battles
We should ban Ukraine cause Canada is going to pay for them to go... so ghat means my tax dollars will pay for them.... again
Ukraine should be banned and force to pay all the money back everyone gave them
the fact they are not banned yet tells you governments don’t really care about people just $$$
So.... punish the innocent athletes?
If Russia or their partners in this Genocidal war are in, I won't be involved, and I'll advocate Canada being absent. I'm frankly shocked France would admit Russians to the country.
let them compete! The world doesn't take orders from Ukraine.
Ban Ukraine for all the corruption. Zlensky is bidens 1 money launderer
Well, I understand where the idea comes from! I think the Olympics should have nothing to do with politics, and let people see! Clean up the Olympics no more money and greed! About time we showed the world, the simplistic side of the living !
Ukraine is laundering money
Politicizing everything in today's world. Virtue signal some more. You are only hurting people who have no choice in war.
How does the Ukraine have time to worry about the olympics, I thought they were losing a war?
Should the global south ask that the west also get banned Just checking something.. 🧐
That's terrible.
They shouldn’t have been in the last Olympics. Allowing Russians to compete under the Olympic flag is complete BS.
This is nitpicking and it will not help Ukrainian cause because it's fickle and exhausting. Why not gamble on a Russian athlete using Olympics as a platform to dissent. Not the worst gamble and a far bigger payoff if it happens. Insisting they can't compete comes off as a nag.
They shouldn’t go
Seems fair given the US was banned from several Olympic Games over 20 years because of its invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.
Good. There is no need to have those genocidal maniacs on the world stage for any reason.
The corrupt IOC wants all that untraceable cash from the murdering Russian regime. They will get what they want.
I thought the Olympics was meant for peace...not for crybabies or companies make money.
Russia should be banned from ALL SPORTS EVENTS and any world gatherings until their the stinky leader is gone and war is over.
They should be banned, they broke the rules. Like a military drill, what a joke. Liars
Is zelenskyy and his corrupt Ukraine rulling the world now?
Wish we could ban Trudeau from sending more tax dollar to Ukraine but anyways keep Russia out of the Olympics thats gonna fix the problem lol
Let Russia play by themselves cause they don't play well with others...they can never be trusted ever again
So they should .... Crazy Ivan, should pay a heavy price for their actions ... it's a no-brainer ...
Yes ban Russia from the Olympics. Russia is bad Karma.
Ukraine, what a wonderful country. We should all follow it's example eh?
Thats bs. How does Ukraine have such power over the world? Must be laundering money for everyone. Whats next, gonna ban Ovechkin?!?
