  • I understand this is a near impossible task, but sports (particularly the athletes) and politics should stay separate.

    That ship has sailed in the 1936 at the latest. Every authoritative regime will sooner or later try to use successes of their athletes for propaganda(the “neutral flag” sham notwithstanding). There is no reason to give them the opportunity.

    And that it affects the careers of the athletes? Maybe, but let me remind you that Ukrainians are still dying, probably by hundreds a day. And so do their athletes.
