badgerx16 Posted February 12 Posted February 12 (edited) Should the Ukrainian skeleton rider have been allowed to compete in his memorial helmet? Edited February 12 by badgerx16

Probably right to be honest. Just opens the door for various other political statements (yeah, yeah I know) if they allow it. Safer to just draw a line under it.

The Kraken Posted February 12 Posted February 12 7 minutes ago, Baird of the land said: No, I think ioc are quite right it would open the door to anyone doing the same for any conflict/politcal motivation. I think I agree with you. But I also read that the photos are of people he knew, former fellow athletes. Also the poppy in itself is a symbol of remembrance that is positively encouraged at sporting events. So maybe not quite so cut and dry.

It's a tough one, but there's the risk that one of the "neutral" competitors chooses to do the same for fallen people they know. The IOC is then faced with having to allow that and facing likely backlash, or allow a different approach to Ukrainian and Russian competitors. They took the safe course, which on balance, I think is the right one.

The IOC were prepared to allow a black armband, so they’re not ruling out a “political statement” unitarily. Difficult to draw a line in the sand, and I wouldn’t have fancied being in the discussions with the Ukrainian slider telling him the limits of the IOC-approved levels of grief allowed on track.
badgerx16 Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Great Britain men playing Italy in the curling, first end: GB lying 1 shot up with 6 stones in the house, 2 British and 4 Italian, have the last stone of the end. The skipper could play safe and easily score 1, but gets greedy and tries to get a 2 - ends up removing all the GB stones and leaves the Italians scoring 4. 1
badgerx16 Posted February 13 Posted February 13 (edited) Further to the banning of the Ukrainian's helmet, Italian snowboarder Roland Fischnaller displayed a Russian flag on his helmet without comment or action by the IOC. Edited February 13 by badgerx16 1

You could see see exactly when the camera showed the jumper’s view at the very top of the platform.

Lighthouse Posted Sunday at 20:47 Posted Sunday at 20:47 The phrase ‘mixed skeleton’ just reminds me of this.
badgerx16 Posted Sunday at 20:48 Posted Sunday at 20:48 So many in the figure skating pairs are Russians who have managed to get a new nationality in the last 2 years. Have they been running a spam email system - "Russian skaters want to know you better".
