MOSCOW : Russia unveiled the national team uniform for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics on Friday, leaving out its tricolour flag from the design to comply with doping sanctions.
Russian athletes are barred from competing at major international events, including the Olympics, under their flag and with their anthem until December 2022. At the Beijing Games, which run from Feb. 4-20, Russians will be competing as representatives of the Russian Olympic Committee under the acronym"ROC", as they did at the Tokyo Summer Olympics this year.
Just like their militias in Crimea.
Right direction. If nation boycott, the nation & the people are not part of Olympics. No athletes be allowed. Else, any public in the entire can join the games. Finding a host nation to accept in place of own athletes will be bad. Russia's suggestion may be hope for athletes.
Why Taiwan cannot compete under its flag and anthem? Which country is politising the Games?
