If the Olympics wanted to do the right thing....

They would ban Russia and Belarus from competition for next four years.

4. At least. And that's after full repudiation and reparations. Nt

2. Until putrid is gone.

3. At least

5. And recall the medals from this year !!

For breaking the peace.
It's not in the spirit of the games.

6. Also ban the Russian judges that ALWAYS favor the Russian athletes

Politics aside, ... that's just wrong. There should be no Russian judges in a position to influence the outcome of any Olympic event. They're especially egregious in the Winter Olympics, for obvious reasons.

9. Figure skating & gymnastics!

For as long as I can remember!

[dalton99a]

12. +1.

7. The IOC is one of the most corrupt institutions of all time.

They'll take Russian money again the first opportunity.

8. I disagree. The Olympics is supposed to bring us together.

Where we all gather to enjoy sports, and compete in friendly competition.

That mentality has frayed in the last few years, with Russia cheating in Sochi, and the Chinese national mission to prove their national physical prowess.

Kicking countries out would just make matters worse, and drive us further into this Cold War 2.0 mentality.

10. Do you think Ukrainian athletes are getting any training in?

You know, so they can get in on that “friendly competition” with Russia for all our enjoyment.

11. Some probably are. I read stories of a gymnastics competition

In the last few days with Ukrainians competing. Competing Against Russians as well.
