It is for you @iocmedia@Olympics because you like and know neutral russian athletes, who support war in Ukraine and killing Ukraine athletes, chindrens, people and destroy indepent country.
Fake Neutrality.
Two-time Russian Olympian Vladimir Goncharov is fighting against Ukraine as part of the 1487th Motorized Rifle Regiment.
This regiment participated in the destruction of residential buildings and civilian infrastructure in the Pokrovsk direction, which may qualify as a war crime.
It is also worth noting that Goncharov himself understands that the fact of his service destroys the narrative about “innocent Russian athletes” whom the IOC considers “neutral.”
“I try to turn away from the cameras when someone comes to film us. In my sport, I am quite a well-known person. If I end up in the frame somewhere, I think it will be the end for all Russian sports. They’ll say that Russian athletes are also participating in the war. We still haven’t washed off the doping scandal, and now this too,” Goncharov said after his mobilization.
It seems that the only side that fails to understand that Russian sport is part of the Russian Federation’s military machine is the IOC and international federations. Despite the involvement of Russian athletes in propaganda and even their direct participation in aggressive actions, these organizations are already actively bringing back not only Russian athletes and the Russian Olympic Committee, but also all Russian symbols to the world sports arenas.
Once again, it is worth reminding everyone that Russian athletes are guilty and must be isolated from the international sports arena.
We should also call on the governments of other countries not to issue visas to Russian athletes who support the war or who are part of Russian propaganda (that is, absolutely all members of the Russian national teams).
Please,let's not focus only on Russian athletes!That would be a fundamental mistake.Every 🇷🇺 citizen who does not officially condemn the 🇷🇺 war in Ukraine is an advertisement for that war.If we allow any 🇷🇺 citizen to appear publicly,it will have the effect of prolonging the war!
No! First of all, the EU must ban Russian citizens from public appearances on its territory (e.g. athletes). Then it must pressure other countries (including the USA) and the @iocmedia to do the same. Let's start with ourselves in the EU and stop blaming others!!!
@TomasZdechovsky YES YES all big countries and all Europe should BOYCOTT @Olympics and @iocmedia . If some want to be in one starting line with killer-ocupant-rapist russian federation then they can do it.
Kristy Coventry-the head of the @iocmedia has allowed a huge advertisement for the Russian imperialist war in all competitions. This woman is now becoming responsible for prolonging the war and for the killing of huge numbers of Ukrainians and 🇷🇺. Let's approach her accordingly
THANKS FOR YOUR BRAVE AND DECISION, we must stop @iocmedia with their russian athletes who are supporters for people kiling in Ukraine. All other countries must conect to your statement and allow russian athletes enter the country. #standwithukraine
I am appalled by the IOC’s decision to provisionally lift their sanction on the Russian Olympic Committee. Please see my statement on behalf of the Government of Canada, below:
Theater of the absurd.
The IOC has lifted all restrictions on Russian athletes.
Today, on the day this video is being recorded, our city is once again under shelling — yesterday was a day of mourning for those killed in the Russian attack. And now, seeing this absolutely shameful decision just feels like some kind of unbelievable absurdity.
This decision is not about the neutrality of sport. This decision is about rejecting reality.
The IOC completely ignores the facts that Russian sport plays a huge role in Russian propaganda.
The FSB still remains in charge of the Russian anti-doping agency, and it is run by the very same people who poisoned Russian dissidents with “Novichok.” Yet the IOC ignores this fact.
Russian athletes are fighting on the front lines, but the IOC calls them “innocent.”
Russian athletes are involved in activities with kidnapped Ukrainian children, but the IOC doesn’t care about Ukrainian victims. They would rather disqualify Ukraine than face the reality of the present day.
Sanctions were lifted from Russia solely based on a statement by the Russian Olympic Committee claiming they no longer operate in the occupied territories — even though the reality is completely different. The facts of their activities in the occupied territories are publicly known, but the IOC couldn’t care less.
The current leadership of the IOC is a disgrace to the Olympic movement. These are people with no morality or principles whatsoever. In 1936, the Olympic Games already served as a tool for spreading the propaganda of one dictator. It looks like we are seeing exactly who inspires the current IOC leadership.
National Olympic Committees (NOCs) must give a strong response to this shameful decision, and countries should finally consider imposing a visa ban on Russian athletes.
@EvikaSilina@Jauna_Vienotiba Parādiet raksturu un publiski atbildiet ar melu detektora palīdzību dažādus jautājumus par partijas darbību un to ka neesat neko paši darījuši nelikumīgu. Parādiet
Turpina pildīt @iocmedia darbinieku lēmēju makus un kabatas. Kurš atbalsta sportistu piedalīšanos - valsts. Ja krievija turpina slepkavot cilvēkus Ukrainā, kā var vispār runāt par atļaušanu piedalīties sacensībās.
Jautājums aktīvākajiem Eiropā @poznaks@RihardsKols vai ir iespējams Eiropas kā reģiona līmenī pacelt olimpiskās komitejas lēmumu lēmumu par agresoru valsts krievijas sportistu pielaišanu sacensībām. Sports jau sen ir politika, tas visiem ir zināms, jo krievu nauda
Unacceptable. 🇷🇺 has always used sports as a tool of political influence whenever possible. It has never been just about sports—never.
The normalization of 🇷🇺 in sports, art, and music is equivalent to normalizing its occupation and aggression against 🇺🇦.
This only shows that financial interests are prevailing over moral principles.

Who can investigate coruption at @iocmedia with their decision about russia. They all time try to pull russian killers back in sport. Sport is polititic, everyone knows it. Russia must be banned from all international events after end of war for 5 years at least. @anticorruption
A drone farewell was done for Cristiano Ronaldo in his hometown in Madeira after he played his last game for Portugal 🇵🇹 against Spain in the World cup …… He really put them on the map❤️
En nesaku ka nepatīk vai patīk, citreiz ir interesantas ziņasar faktiem no @Lato_Lapsa . Bet gribētos redzēt no @Lato_Lapsa kurus 3 personāžus redzētu kā ministru prezidentus, kuri būtu viņa prezidenta kandidāti un top3 politiskās partijas.
@CardinalisRavus Latvijas valsti veido Latvijas pilsoņi, kuru pienākums ir zināt Latvijas valts valodu - LATVIEŠU VALODU,pārējie ir iebraucēji bez tiesībām balsot. Tad KĀPĒC un KURUS viņš uzrunā. @Jekaba11 pieņemet drastiskus likumus pret šīm Latvijai nelojālajām partijām, liekat sodus
@CardinalisRavus Es saprotu demokrātijas demokrātija, bet kā tas ir iespējams @Valsts_drosiba ka šīs partijas atklāti nicina latviešu valodu un valsti vispār tiek līdz vēlēšanu sarakstiem. Ir jāiet balsot, un jādomā par latviskas Latvijas saglabāšanu un attīstīšanu,bet kā tas iespējams.
