Russia may join sports events in Asia ahead of 2024 Olympics

The IOC is completely corrupt if they allow this.

Russia and Belarus are both still banned from all international ice hockey competitions that are sanctioned by the IIHF (which act as qualifiers to the Winter Olympics) and there is no way to get around that for them. And, it's quite well known, just how much Putin cares about the gold in men's ice hockey.

Hard no.

"You can have the billions in advertising that support your ", movement", or you can have doped up Russians sport washing for their state.

You will not have both,"

separation based on politics views.

It’s more based on humanitarian views.

Russia has invaded a sovereign country & started murdering & raping its citizens. Destroying their home’s & cities.

So evil people (countries) must suffer the consequences of their actions

The biggest event of the olympics is where the IOC always finishes with Gold.

Sigh.

The mental calisthenics they're trying to do in order to justify

If they do this, then no more Euro competitions for Russian teams - no more Euro Championship, no more Champions League, etc. They should compete in Asia from here on out

Russia is in the midst of a brutal, illegal invasion of Ukraine, committing atrocities such as targeting civilian power plants in the midst of winter in a deliberate attempt to freeze the population into submission.

That Russian athletes must suffer for this is unfortunate but necessary. Don't forget the embarrassment which was the 1936 Summer Olympics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1936_Summer_Olympics

And how much did you get for this?

Yes, IOC reaps the profits no matter who wins, who loses, who gets banned, restricted or sanctions. While countries that have invaded other nations one after another and have fleeced their resources, and enslaved the through forced purchased of weapons and security and protection schemes have gotten away with murder, literarily and for real.

While Russia joining AFC is rather difficult because of the World Cup berth issue(Russia will be taking one berth when there are only 8 to go around, much resentment from Middle East and China), I don't see why OCA would refuse Russia joining the Asian Games.

It looks like people have already forgotten about the war. As Russia is the biggest country, it will be allowed to do as it wishes. The same as China and Taiwan. People only want to make money and don’t care about a little war.

its about time to do that and stop this....separation based on politics views.
