  1. Crazy to me that Russia is banned for committing war crimes yet Israel is allowed to compete

  2. There are surprisingly many NPAs at the paralympics, much more than the olympics. Do they have to prove no link with the russian government or such thing in order to compete?

  3. While it’s sure awkward, my understanding was that Russia was against their people competing neutrally, so I doubt any of these dudes are big fans of mother Rusky.

  4. You want it to be awkward. These are athletes, not soldiers or politicians. Ordinary Russians and Ukrainians can indeed sit at the same table together, even now, and be upset about everything that’s going on in their area.

  5. Russian weren’t allowed to compete in the olympics but were allowed to in the special olympics?

  6. No matter which way you paint it I think not displaying the flag just because it’s Russia, is racism. Didn’t see them doing that to China or North Korea.
