Is that a big bargaining chip or something? The presence of the Ukrainian Olympic team?

I mean, having Ukraine boycott the Olympics isn't a great look for the Olympics.

The IOC is not a great look for the Olympics. The organisation is cancerous, just like FIFA

didnt a bunch of people boycott it when china was hosting it?

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 7 points 2 years ago

Yeah because the Olympic committee are a bunch of idiots. They keep saying that the Olympics are not political, while being obviously political.

Allowing China to host was a political decision. It showed support for China, no matter how much the Olympic committee said it didn't.

Morons the lot of them.
