But Russians are still able to compete under neutral flag, same as last year.

This lets them feel like victims but also take credit for any medals Russian athletes win. I honestly don't understand why the Olympics insist on having Russians competing when they cheated systematically even before they started murdering Ukrainians.

They can but they are not welcome... Regardless their opinion or what.

You can come but we spit on you.

I would like see France coherent in its geopolitical positions regarding this kind of speech... But...

We have a story as country..
