Wait, Russia’s not at the Olympics? Okay so this one has an asterisk and is considered practice then right? No medals that the US would have had stiff competition from Russian on count as medals won imo. Politics of Russian being entirely irrelevant to sport

yep. russia not being at the olympics a
has fucked the whole thing and turned  it into a sideshow. Politics is completely irrelevant to the Olympics and that was always the point.

it's so cruel to call the war just 'politics'. Maybe it is for you, but not for us in Ukraine. I wish you and your family never to experience this kind of 'politics'.

It’s not cruel at all to make observations about aspects of events. It is absurd to deny people they have a valid observation simply because you’re experiencing it differently. Sucks you’re in a war zone, I wouldn’t want to be, I still feel the same about athletics though
