Yes, Beijing. And Russia invaded Ukraine days after its conclusion.

I have no doubt that if she decided to focus on speed events she'd also dominate there. She consistently finishes top 10 in speed events with very limited training and consistently races top part-times. Just crazy.

Every time I watch her ski and think "this looks slower than the other racers" and magically she's just always faster. It really does look effortless.

I don't believe her dad was the primary issue. More that she had covid not long before and also just simply bad luck. Shit happens

So... Exactly what they'd been doing for the last 3 games, since they have issues with doping.
IOC is a fucking joke.

I definitely disagree with this. Putin uses the athletes for propaganda, not to mention how many times they've been caught doping. This isn't even a punishment anymore. They've been competing as ROC for years now and it does jack shit.
Are they actually going to enforce this part? Because nearly every single active Russian athlete has shown support for the war.
"This means in particular: first, only those who have not acted against the peace mission of the IOC by actively supporting the war in Ukraine could compete"

It’s a way to do something and nothing at the same time.
