Athletes from Russia and Belarus will not be allowed to compete as neutral athletes in qualification events for next year’s Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina following a vote by the sport’s governing body on Tuesday.
The International Ski and Snowboard Federation’s (FIS) decision means that, unless a late change occurs, Russian and Belarusian skiers and snowboarders will not take part in the Games, which begin on 6 February.
In September, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) said it would allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete at the Winter Games under a neutral flag and strict conditions, as they did at the Paris Olympics, but the final decision would rest with individual sports federations.

I wouldn’t be too optimistic about that.


– a practice of protecting military targets with civilian populations that is prohibited by international humanitarian law.
Humanitarian law doesn’t apply to Israelis, they are inhuman
They don’t want to create a viable country, they want to destroy the country and create chaos.


Unfortunately, the orange turn is just the clown face emoji that the people who are really running America hide behind.


Not really any less credible than the AP/Reuters/AFP cabal


I wasn’t blaming anyone, I was pointing out that it has become way too normalised for “people familiar with…” and “speaking on condition anonymity…” etc to be pushed as credible sources by news agencies that claim to be “gold standards” of journalism.
