The head coach of the Ukrainian freestyle skiing team said a failure to ban Russian and Belarusian athletes from international competition will represent a loss for Ukraine.
Ukraine's government has said its athletes will not be allowed to take part in Paris 2024 qualifying events if they have to compete against Russians. "If we do not achieve this, it will be our loss. If they compete and if our athletes are allowed to compete next to them, it will also be a loss. If we decided to ban our athletes from competing alongside the Russians, then this is also a loss."
Ablaev, who represented Ukraine at three Winter Games, guided Oleksandr Abramenko to aerials gold at the 2018 Olympics. In Beijing last year, Abramenko won silver and stood on the podium with bronze medallist Ilia Burov of the Russian Olympic Committee.
Feels wrong somehow. So its either a 'loss' or a victory that people turn their noses up because the Russians were not there and you are no longer able to properly call yourself best in the world.
lmao
