If I’m not mistaken, they have actually medalled, which is better than some countries.
Looks like this year so far they have one bronze for Women’s Boxing (Middleweight). Nice!
Oh shit, I never knew this. My partner can be on that team. I’ve suddenly found a reason to care about the Olympics!
Russia doesn’t have an Olympic team.
My understanding is that Russian athletes have been competing as independents, which is a different category from refugees. But apparently, they have been barred from competing in events that also include Ukrainians.
They may have a team, even if they weren’t allowed to play. They’re just waiting on the sidelines lol
uh yeah it does.
There is a team of athletes who live in Russia, but they’re competing as independent athletes from Russia. They are not representing the Russian government.
don’t most athletes don’t represent their government but just re[resent the people of their country?
Technically they represent their country’s Olympic committee
They were largely kicked out the Olympics this year.
They have some athletes participating under the “neutral athlete” label. There are not many and it’s much more strict than it had been in the past.
Removed by mod
Vatican City is recognized as a sovereign state but im pretty sure they choose not to have an Olympic committee or send athletes to the games.
They should get a curling league together, I just want to see it.
