Video unfortunately without sound. Sorry. Ukraine won gold, bronze to “neutral” athlete. The accompanying man to the bronze medalist refuses to even look at the flag during the anthem of Ukraine. Does not seem very “neutral” to me…

Thought for the poor brasilian woman alone on her pictures. She seemed happy at least.
No surprises there. But keep believing in “sports is out of politics” and “it’s not russian, it’s putin”
This is not the first time a “Neutral” person have done something like this at these games
Please stop putting pressure on Russian athletes to be friendly with others, you have no idea what that monster in power will do to punish them and their families
They are not going to risk that for some internet points, we all know what Putin is, he literally kills his competition in government
It seems like whenever the neutral athletes win a medal,the Ukrainians are right up there responding by winning the gold
He’s from a terrorist state, what else would you expect?
Do you know who his leader is? You would absolutely do the same thing.
He just doesn’t want to fall out of a window, can’t blame him.
Athletes are allowed to have opinions about things that directly effect their lives, stop playing thought police. You’re literally trying to shame someone for not looking in a particular direction, you’re atleast as obsessed with politics as they are and the situation between Russia and Ukraine probably effects you much less. The only person who should be ashamed here is you. You’re the one making this political.
They’re in a very bitter war and they don’t like each other. I would have banned all Russian athletes, personally, but if we’re going to allow them to compete, this is what we get.
So fucking shameful. I can’t believe that these “neutrals” were even allowed to come to this event.
Glory to Ukraine!
I mean the athlete looked. The other guy is probably just checking out the stadium. My ADHD would
Just kick them out permanently already, they’ve shown they have zero desire to display sportsmanship
As we knew!
Watching this just makes you appreciate how much work goes into these moments, sound or not.
The conversation is turning very Toxic here. u/OlympicsMods, I think this post needs to be 🔒 locked now.
Nyet- ral countries
that’s how a dude would behave towards an enemy country anywhere. so I don’t see the problem.
He’s trying to avoid tripping and falling from atop a building anytime soon.
I dont give a shit about the olympics since they started playing the different games around letting russian nationals compete. Thye cheat and cheat and cheat and its always just another “this isn’t russia but totally russia” stunt.
Eh? What are you moaning about, where is the problem here?
