At the Olympics - go!

161
Russia is hotly debating the question of whether Russian athletes should take part in the Winter Olympic Games on the terms put forward by the IOC, i.e. without a flag, without a hymn and without identifying attributes on the uniform of the members of the country's Olympic team.

Opinions are diametrically opposed. Some people, including many athletes, say “to go,” others say that this is a “humiliation of the country”, therefore “it is impossible to go in any case.”



Opponents of participation in the Olympiad give very sharp arguments, recalling the heroic history Russia and examples of feats contemporaries. Supporters of participation argue their position by saying that the flag and anthem are in the heart, and the world already knows what country these athletes represent.

As an outside observer, I want to express my thoughts on this topic.

First, people insult and humiliate each other every day, and several times. But few of them died or lost their face, their “I.”

Secondly, it is possible to humiliate only when the person himself believes that he has been humiliated. If he misses the negative in his address, then the vis-à-vis will dissolve into the air.

Thirdly, Russia is not a country that can be humiliated with impunity. From her story it is well known that sooner or later the adversaries received tinsel. The main thing is to be patient and wait for the X hour. I would like to give as an example not the outcome of the Great Patriotic War, but the three hundred year old Mongol-Tatar yoke, under which Ancient Russia was located. It was really a humiliation when the Russian principalities paid tribute to the aggressors for three centuries. But the Horde has disappeared, and Russia is alive! Why? Because internally the Russian people did not bend over. Do not lose heart and now, especially because of some kind of Olympiad.

Fourthly, Russian athletes still have the right to participate in the Olympics. Consider it a humiliation is not worth it. After all, no one in the country considered humiliation the exclusion of Russia from the G8 or PACE. Russia does not have access to these structures, but to the Olympiad.

Fifthly, sport is just one of the varieties of human activity. On it, life is not obsessed, and it is not something that radically affects the meaning of the existence of peoples. Therefore, to any sports should be treated calmly, without hysteria. People lived for centuries without sports and Olympiads. As soon as you stop attaching such an overestimated importance to sports of any rank, the psychosis on this occasion will immediately leave you, and benevolent peace will reign in your souls.

Sixth, we all know perfectly well who and why launched a large-scale anti-Russian slanderous campaign. The reasons are also known to everyone: Russia ceased to execute commands from across the ocean, resurrected in its former power, satisfied the desire of the Crimeans to restore historical justice and return to their true sources. The Americans did not like this, because they planned through the next "Maidan" to expel the Russian Black Sea Fleet from Sevastopol and introduce their flotilla, and thus inflict the most powerful moral damage on Russia. But that did not happen. And the Americans went wild and launched a disgusting information war with their henchmen. US-European intriguers openly told the Russian diplomatic corps that they would in every possible way disavow everything that Russia was doing. One of the directions of this vile and cowardly policy was chosen sport.

Seventh, only naive can believe that there are “clean” and “dirty” athletes. Sport has long been not a competition of muscles, but a dope battle. Every human body has a limit of possibilities. Only training can achieve outstanding results only very talented athletes. But they are not able to show good results for a long time. Without the help of pharmaceutical products can not do. Some medications help muscles acquire superpowers stronger, some - weaker. That is, it is not people who compete with each other, but medical preparations. Therefore, the fight against doping was declared. But there has not been without fraud. Since WADA is dominated by representatives of Western countries, many drugs that are used by their athletes are not included in the list of prohibited ones, but non-doping drugs that are used by Russian athletes are included. In addition, Western athletes are officially allowed to use illegal drugs under various pretexts. Therefore, the anti-Russian doping scandal is a well-directed, but absolutely unfair action. That is why Russian society should not be hysterical. Any medicine can be dopeed depending on a conjuncture as well as any potent doping can be declared a common cold medicine. Alas, this is an objective, albeit sad, reality. Political games around the sport will never end. The struggle of pharmaceutical companies among themselves, including the non-inclusion of their products in the WADA list, will not end either. So have patience and buy more popcorn to contemplate this unsightly and endless spectacle, but do not fall into prostration and do not enter into interstitial verbal lists. What has been said in this paragraph does not mean that all athletes are dopingists. But they all use those and other stimulant drugs, including those that contribute to accelerated recovery of strength after many hours of hard training. The problem is that some drugs are listed as banned, and some are not. Moreover, the selection criteria are not just dubious, but frankly corrupt. That is, the decisions of WADA are far from perfect and fair. Proof of this is at least the recent doping scandal that broke out on December 18 2017 in the United States in connection with an article published in the British newspaper The Telegraph, which tells about the use of doping by American athletes.

Eighth, it is not worth declaring Russian athletes who have expressed a desire to take part in the Olympiad as traitors to their homeland. They betray nobody and nothing. The announcement of a boycott is exactly what the Americans were waiting for. The boycott would be immediately attributed to V. Putin, and a massive information attack on the Russians would begin, they say, the “evil empire” and Stalinism would once again revive. The West wanted to have a reason to turn the people of Russia against V. Putin. But V. Putin is not a fool, so he did not fall for this bait.

Ninth, athletes have been preparing for the Olympic Games for years, spend a lot of strength and energy, exercising every day until exhaustion, deny themselves ordinary human joys, stay away from their families, wives, children, etc. for a long time. And to lose participation in the Olympiad is a big tragedy for them, primarily in moral terms, and not in material terms, as would-be patriots say. In no case should they be prohibited from participating in what is the purpose of their short sports life.

Tenth, who and what won from the boycotts of the 1980 and 1984 Olympiads? Everyone was the loser, since both Olympiads were not complete. The strongest must compete with the strongest. The victory gained in a fight with equals cannot be compared with anything. Therefore, let Russian athletes prove in practice that they are not sewn, and let the whole world see it.

Eleventh, patriotism is not striking oneself in the chest, waving a flag, singing a hymn and shouting out loud slogans. Patriotism is love for one's homeland, respect for one’s fellow citizens and ability to unite in the face of a common threat. Today, as in the old days, Russia is threatened by the collective West, and it can resist only if it does not succumb to external provocations, shows wisdom and does not allow it to shake itself from the inside, not allowing the second Gorbachev to come to power in the country. Therefore, the Russians should unite around V. Putin and ardently support their athletes, who decided in such a difficult situation to defend the honor and dignity of the great Russia.

In the twelfth, because no one died, and the country did not collapse when the Russian Paralympic team was excluded from participation in the Summer Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. There was not only the flag and anthem of Russia, but none of the Russian Paralympians at all. And in Pkhenchkhane Russian Olympians will be. As they say, feel the difference.

Thirteenth, when Russian intelligence officers perform their duty in the enemy’s rear, they do not imagine where they do not sing the national anthem, and do not wave the Russian flag in public. But in their souls they carry the love of their Fatherland and secretly work in the name of its good. Imagine that Russian Olympians are your undercover agents, who are faced with the task of benefiting Russia on the Phenchkhan sports grounds, and everything in your head will fall into place.

Fourteenth, in 1992, the national team of the republics of the former USSR performed at the Olympics without a flag and a hymn, but none of the athletes found themselves humiliated and no one in their independent countries called their Olympians traitors. So then the circumstances, and all reacted to this with understanding. Today, the situation is different, created by enemies deliberately. But it is also necessary to treat it with the same wise understanding and not to divide our fellow citizens into traitors and patriots. In this case, more patriots are athletes who decide to go to the Olympics than couch heroes who fill the Internet with their verbiage, but they themselves have not done anything worthwhile for the benefit of Russia.

Fifteenth, people tend to fetish any object or phenomenon. This is a rudiment of paganism. That only humanity did not recognize the sacred - and stones, and plants, and animals, and stars, and planets, and signs, and numbers, and mythical creatures invented by themselves, etc. But in reality, it's all nonsense. In the recent past, many of the Russians now living considered the flag and anthem of the Soviet Union sacred. But for more than a quarter of a century, the new flag and the new text of the anthem of Russia have become sacred. That is, these citizens have been patriots of the USSR for a long time, and now they have become patriots of the Russian Federation. And nothing happened to them. It means that you shouldn’t beat your head against the wall due to some conventions, besides not being constant.

Sixteenth, at this winter Olympics, Russian athletes will win 5 or 7 gold medals at best. Therefore, the flag will not be raised and the anthem will not be played the entire 5 or 7 time. And because of this nonsense, you Russians intend to devour each other? By golly, this is ridiculous.

Seventeenth, the flag and anthem of Russia will not be only at the Olympics in South Korea, but no one took them away from you. Who is stopping you from downloading the anthem of your homeland on the Internet and turning it on when someone was awarded the gold medal to a Russian Olympian? You can also easily buy a flag or flag of Russia and proudly hold it high above your head to mark the triumph of your compatriot. This will be a manifestation of true patriotism.

Eighteenth, unfortunately, in Russia there are many agents of influence of Western special services and corrupt spaghetti a la Gorbachev. But even more regretful is the fact that among Russians, for various reasons, there are many hurray-patriots who are not able to think in a sane manner. What they write against their athletes, it seems to them, is patriotism. But this is not patriotism, it is a patriotic rage. Their main accusation is that athletes are focused only on money and go to the Olympiad exclusively for their sake. What kind of money can we talk about if the chances of winning a medal in the current situation are minimized? And then, again, the sports age is very short. If an athlete earns some money while he is still full of strength, what is criminal about that? All people are engaged in one or another type of activity in order to earn their living. This is natural and normal. So why do you blame athletes, just like you, who want to earn money for their existence by their exhausting work? In addition, winter Olympians do not earn as much as, say, tennis players, football players, basketball players and others. It is shameful not the desire of athletes to perform at the Olympiad, but the behavior of their compatriots, who arranged for them an unfair obstruction on the Internet.

Nineteenth, there is nothing deadly in the absence of identifying symbols. I will give a simple example. When they offer a good job, but without official registration, few people will refuse, because they need work and earnings. That is, figuratively speaking, the absence of a work book does not inflict serious moral damage not only on those who work at this job, but also on the people around them. The main thing is that the work was done in a timely and efficient manner. It is the same with the Russian Olympians - they must perform with dignity, despite the absence of formal signs of their presence.

In the twenties, on the shirts of Russians, it will be written: "Olympic athlete from Russia." The IOC thinks that by this it insults the representatives of Russia and its people as a whole. But in fact, your athletes are Olympic athletes from Russia! Not from Zimbabwe or Vanuatu! So the pseudo-patriot psychosis on this matter looks awkward and inappropriate.

Twenty-first, without any exaggeration, it can be argued that Russian athletes who decided to go to the Olympiad, where they were prepared for a hostile and uncomfortable situation, in fact, accomplish the feat. There is a high probability that the Americans, together with their satraps, will organize anti-Russian provocations and booing of Russian Olympians in Pkhenchkhane. Who among you, the sofa heroes and verbiage, would voluntarily put yourself under such wild pressure? I'm sure no one. If you are not able to find the strength and reason to support, then at least you can not speak evil of your countrymen?

Secondly, after the Rio Olympiad, the IOC decided that if a country or its team announced a boycott and did not appear at the Olympics, it would be barred from participating in these competitions for two Olympic cycles. A question for frantic patriots: will it be easier for you if Russia forfeits the right to participate in winter and summer olympiads for the next eight years? Restrain your foolishness and understand that the Russians certainly need to go to South Korea in February 2018.

Twenty-thirds, who is a traitor to the motherland, and who is not, decides the court. In the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation there is no article on the qualification of the participation of athletes in the Olympic Games without a flag and the anthem of Russia as a "betrayal." In addition, have you really, patriots, still not understood that the participation of Russians in the upcoming competitions in the arenas of Pkhenchkhan was discussed in advance with the leadership of your state? And the way it was presented, fully consistent with the prevailing realities. Understand, so it was necessary to do. Therefore, stop complexes and howl on the Internet, as well as with schizophrenic aplomb to talk about what you have no idea.

Twenty-four, as already mentioned above, if Russian athletes do not go to the Olympics in South Korea, Russia will miss two Olympic cycles. What will be the consequences? The best Russian athletes will begin to take citizenship of other countries, i.e. we will witness the outflow of the elite of Russian sports. The cherished dream of athletes - Olympic gold. To blame them for this dream is tantamount to blaming any filmmaker for wanting to receive an Oscar or any physicist — the Nobel Prize. If, as a citizen of Russia, an athlete knows that he has no chance of getting to the Olympiad, he, of course, will look for ways to fulfill his dream. In this case, a forced change of citizenship. However, he does not become a traitor and in his heart remains a patriot of his homeland. In addition, not only mature athletes will be going abroad, but parents will start exporting their children to other countries who have high sports hopes, since in Russia they will have no Olympic prospects. And no one has the right to criticize or accuse them of collaborationism. As a result, Russia will lose the sport of higher achievements. Only physical education and mass sports will remain. And this means that in the country there will be no athletes who could adequately represent the great Russia not only at the Olympiads, but also at the world championships, Europe, etc. Do you want that? Being in common sense, no one will want such a homeland. So calm down, vociferous patriots, for your current patriotism is harmful, insane and looks like paranoia.

Twenty-fifth, you do not own even a hundredth of the information that the leadership of your state has. If the president, the government, the ROC, and the Olympians decided to go to the Olympics, despite all the negative circumstances, then it must be so. And the white flag in this case is not a flag of surrender and loss of dignity, but, on the contrary, a symbol of inflexibility, bright reason, pure thoughts, faith in justice and in one’s own strength.

Twenty-sixth, Galileo recanted aloud from his convictions, but in his heart he sounded: "And yet it turns." After all, no one can forbid Russian Olympians and fans to sing the Russian national anthem during the awards ceremony, whatever tune may sound official. Russian flags in the stands are also not prohibited. If everything is properly organized, then Russian fans in South Korea could draw to the singing of their hymn and fans from other countries, for example, by distributing to them the text of the hymn written in Latin. Nobody has canceled the international solidarity of progressive humanists.

Seventh-seventh, the decision of the IOC was made, relatively speaking, in two stages. At the first stage, it was decided to punish Russia for the massive use of doping by its athletes. The fact that this decision does not hold water is discussed above. If the country as a whole is punished, it means that there should not be its state symbols at the Olympiad: a flag, a coat of arms, a hymn. I hope everyone understands this. Further, at the second stage, it was decided to allow privately to participate in the Olympic Games those Russian athletes to whom WADA has no complaints. Please note in private, and not as representatives of the country. This is the subtlety of the situation: Russian Olympians are going to the Olympiad as individuals at the personal invitation of the IOC. That is, in this case, the flag and anthem of Russia are not provided for by definition. Only those who for the preceding four years won the corresponding license are traveling. It is obvious that there is no reason to talk about any treachery, humiliation and self-interest in relation to the Russian Olympians. As soon as you, terry patriots, understand this nuance, all your reckless accusatory rhetoric against your athletes will come to naught.

In conclusion, I want to stress once again: Russia cannot be destroyed by attacks from the outside. This can only happen if Gorbachevs from the “fifth column” come to power in it, ready to bend to the West for the sake of indulgent patting Uncle Sam. Russia is indestructible, as long as its people are united and do not seek to undermine their own state foundations.



External enemies led by the United States are trying to bring discord into Russian society by any means, without shying away from any lies and meanness. The decision of the IOC to ban the Russian flag, anthem and symbols at the Winter Olympics was made under the savage pressure of American-European provocateurs. And this is not the last blow. The Russians should keep their ears open and not join in the altercation between themselves because of the regular attacks on their country.

Even a million Olympic games are not worth the Crimea alone. Even a billion olympiads are not worth Russia, the cohesion and well-being of its citizens, as well as the integrity and inviolability of its borders.

Russians, take care of your great Motherland, do not reflect on the intrigues of Western enemies, keep calm and endurance, curb your emotions, be above your mind and stronger in spirit overseas nonentities and know that the time will come - and all your enemies will get what they deserve. But if you quarrel with each other because of the Olympics, it will mean that your enemies have reached their goal. Do not allow such a turn of events.

I wish you peace, harmony, sanity and prosperity! Stay yourself so that no one from the outside can disturb your balance and deprive you of your unique identity!

Here is a fresh example of the identity of the people. Qatar chess players refused to speak at the World Cup without a flag. Https: // vz.ru/news/2017/12/25/901213.print.

        what for? To immediately disqualify and take away the victory? And so it is clear that this is our athlete. The author correctly noted in the article
        patriotism is not blowing oneself in the chest, waving a flag, singing a hymn and shouting loud slogans.
        the main thing is that this medal will not go to an athlete from the EU or the USA and God forbid that would happen.

          Yeah, according to the author, patriotism is patient demolition spitting and insults from American athletes and their allies:
          where they are destined for a hostile and uncomfortable environment, they actually perform a feat.
          fool
          Comparisons of athletes with secret scouts are generally beyond reason.
          Or that:,
          because no one died, and the country did not collapse when the Russian Paralympic team was suspended from participation in the Summer Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

          I assure the author that the country (and even the world) will not collapse if Russian athletes do not appear in Korea.
          Also, to the author, I note that the country can NOT declare a boycott - it has already been removed, for the IOC it already does not exist (yet). Some invited athletes will come or not come, it’s not important for the IOC, they are not a country. So, there’s no question of removing the country for the next rounds of speech — Zhukov is just Lying.
          IOC INVITED of individual athletes who agree to all humiliation, and their choice-accept this invitation- handout or not.
          Normal people, at least out of solidarity with their illegally suspended comrades, would NOT have to go. IMHO.
          PS By the way, in the former repubics, many riding Russian athletes to the Olympics is perceived exactly this way — they bent and humiliated Russia, and she agreed with this and that, the Nazis are gloating.
          Nesda-was perceived much more respectfully.

            Well, and who will feel better from this? Let's go - that means we’ll look at Athletes from Russia, I’m sure that millions of them will be rooting for them, including myself, so it’s good that we went.
            IOC and WADA did the opposite. And each medal under SUCH conditions will cost a dozen ordinary medals.

            They are not a country - they are "Athletes from Russia". And “Athletes from Russia” can be removed as much as they can and must be removed in case of a boycott. And who then will go from Russia to the following Olympiads? Who will feel better from this?

            No - I’m sure that taking at least a podium will be the best answer to the West in this situation.

                Now, if they ONLY refused, then probably yes, but to whom it would become easier? The Olympics without “Athletes from Russia” is what they are achieving. Personally, I, like many others, have high hopes for our red car and would be saddened by their refusal to go to the Olympics ... to the delight of America and Canada.
                A refusal with loud and unflattering statements to the IOC and WADA (namely the demarche) would certainly have consequences. THAT is all I wanted to say.

          Victory has already been taken if you still do not understand.
          You know, for some reason you still want to compare this situation with a sabotage group on the territory of the enemy.
          It’s one thing if ours, dressed in someone else’s uniform, without patches, documents and a flag, fulfill the strategic task of the command, and the enemy does not know who you are and what your goals are. It’s another that the enemy calculated you, took off your epaulettes, took your flag and awards, exposed and publicly “convicted” “captured saboteurs” in front of all your allies, and for that he personally favored each “saboteur” who was not noticed in connection with the command , under full control, dressed up in an identification white uniform to continue the "secret" operation. Who do you think will benefit from this "secret" mission?)

            Exactly. The question is not in the humiliation of athletes personally, but in EXTRACTING the country from the list of countries that have the right to participate in the Olympics. That is, whether or not our athletes go to the Olympic Games, our country will not be there de facto.
            where they are destined for a hostile and uncomfortable environment, they actually perform a feat.

            And what kind of feat is this, the author will not tell? A feat to perform under the white flag and, in case of taking a gold medal, get an apartment, a car or money for it? That is, the author has no idea what the Feat is in principle.
            patriotism is not blowing oneself in the chest, waving a flag, singing a hymn and shouting loud slogans.

            But the soldiers who in the Second World War, waving the flag and dying on the battlefield were not patriots? Or, for example, the hockey Red Machine as a whole, apparently also not patriots, winning everything that is possible, and then, crying, looked like the flag of the USSR rises to the anthem of their country?
            The author is a clear adherent of the view that they say that if some athletes go, it will only be for the good of the country and that someday, on day X, the West will get what it deserves. But for some reason, the author is silent about the fact that the athletes who go to the Olympics go essentially to earn money and grants, and not to glorify their country. For this very reason, they did not see families, denied themselves everything and so on ... and not out of a deep sense of patriotism.
            Everything is now politicized, starting from Eurovision and ending with sports. And today, there is a war on all fronts. Values, morality, principles that we uphold against those values ​​that live in the West. Smother, start playing according to the rules of the West and all our values, culture, the concept of good and evil can be forgotten. And the author suggests playing according to Western rules, dreaming of the very day of retribution, which, according to all the laws of the historical genre, will come. But the one who plays by the rules of others, obviously dooms himself to losing.

Let it be better that he writes about his people and on his resources, the Uzbek guest workers teach correctly to fill out income declarations. Our mentality is different. So it happened - my family has relatives - Uzbeks, my grandfather. So I know very well how the Uzbeks were more prosperous, bought up their sons with rams and money from military registration and enlistment offices, so that they would not be taken to the Great Patriotic War. Who was worse - in the villages, they hid in the mountains. As they worked from time immemorial on bais, they continue. Their whole philosophy - no matter what happens, I’m very afraid of mine.

      .
      Yes, let me be naive, but that if I personally know one Olympic Paradise who has never used dope other than vodka, I ask, but you are “pulling” with them, and he is “pulling” so that he is the strongest in the world in his form at this moment, here’s his approximate answer- training at altitude, I didn’t even dream of such loads over the hill, I personally have a well-adjusted movement system, I myself came to this, healing starvation in Altai and the very chip, I quote - when I start, I have as the toggle switch clicks and only forward, I don’t feel tired until I cross the finish line! He has no legs, got under the car. To the question about the flag (in the summer it was) - I won’t go, only if I’m ordered from ........ Well, and to the topic of doping, but not in this sport, the Ironman participant is also familiar with the person -
      Ironman is a series of long-distance triathlon events held by the World Triathlon Corporation (WTC). Each individual race of the series consists of three stages carried out in the following order without interruption: a 2,4-mile (3,86 km) race, a 112-mile (180,25 km) race on a bicycle, and a 26,2 marathon miles (42,195 km). The Ironman Triathlon is considered one of the most challenging one-day competitions in the world. [Quote]
      Again, the question (I'm very curious) - kaaaak, what kind of dope? The answer is doping death, a training system, each has its own personal and does not repeat itself, since it is different organisms, he is a former surgeon himself, and I’ve seen how he prepares a couple of times in water until the ice rises, for example, in a hydro-suit. He really is only fifty kopecks of the world. And also ran the Marathon des Sables marathon (from the French - “Sandy marathon”), also known as the Sahara marathon - a six-day super marathon at a distance of about 250 km, which amounts to about six classic marathon distances. Competitions are held annually in Morocco in the Sahara desert. The first race took place in 1986. And now what can I say to the author, thanks? smile

But they forgot about one thing - the Olympics is a place where athletes appear under the flag of their country, and stand on a pedestal under the anthem of their country. Everything else - cups, championships and more, he can do as they want and for whom they want. So at the Olympics, they want to go, at their own expense, and individually.
    We are deprived of the legal right to display the flag of the country and perform the anthem in case of victory. This humiliation is clear and open. Athletes prepared, yes, at seven pots. But this does not mean that we must now humble ourselves and speak under the inscription "Athlete from Russia." Not only that ... they banned the mention of Russia as a country, this is no way.
    Who wants to endure the antics of the IOC there - endure, humble yourself, speak out. They will hang something on you when they come up with how. I won’t even watch this half-olympiad. What for is a sport where officials award victories in their offices, and can any American or European athletes use any kind of dope under an absurd cover? Sick - get treated!

      Everything is correct. We were declared a war, well, we will not appear on it. Winning there will not be given in all honest and unfair ways. Therefore, it is necessary to turn the "battlefield" chosen by the Westerners into a garbage dump, to reduce the competitions of the Olympiad to the level of primacy of the "yard teams of the West". Let's see how many world records will be in this case. It is worth sending athletes there frankly second or third line. Well, for our best athletes there are many other competitions, ranging from world championships, Europe, Asia and to all kinds of cups. Firstly, you can speak on behalf of Russia, and secondly, earn no less. And regarding the appeal of V.V.

And the fact that we will go is better, but it will not do any worse. Since the rules of the game in big sport have changed, then we also need to change, and here we either play by the rules that exist, or by the side of the story.

    In the ninety-ninth, athletes of the third composition are allowed to go, without doctors, without coaches, not living in an Olympic village.
    As for the flag, who told you that an athlete without a flag is a representative of Russia? So a partisan alien. At the last Olympics, all of Russia was rooting for the Korean, because he played under our flag. I know the biathlete Kuzmin. Officials from the sport did not allow her to speak in the team. She left for Slovakia, brings them medals, because she appears under the Slovak flag. So the flag matters.
    Consider that the Russian team has already been excommunicated from the Olympics, in Jesuit, in the assault, it seems to be not forbidden, but not allowed.
    However, there are no questions for the athletes, corrupt businessmen, what to take from them. But senior officials who are obliged to be patriots by duty, there is a question. Including who to vote for in the election. Is it possible to vote for a person for whom the symbols of the state are nothing?

    The author piled everything in order to justify the fact that athletes must ride. But he did not answer one question, why? A lot is written about the boycott in the article, and maybe the author is not in the know, but the IOC has officially suspended our country from participating in the 2018 Olympics, in fact it was not we who announced the boycott, but they announced it to us. It is evident that the authorities are ashamed to talk about such a moment, and they come up with their reality so that athletes are obliged to go to spite everyone. But personally, I don’t understand how you can declare a boycott for games if you have already been boycotted (as I mean the country). The following games after 2018, yes, you can do an official boycott, and then xs. It was possible to make an unofficial boycott, but the authorities felt sorry for the athletes, they prepared so much, tried so hard .... on the topic of patriotism: Qatar chess players refused to participate in the World Cup without a flag:
    ““ I can’t say anything except that this is an obvious case of a mix of politics and sports. We won’t go (to a tournament in Saudi Arabia), because Qatar’s pride and prestige are above all for us, ”said Qatari chess player Mohammed Al- Modiakhi "and Qatar could say in my heart and go to participate as our athletes. Therefore, this is what patriotism and love for the homeland are. You can still write a lot of things on the author’s thesis, but what's the point? If the author argues like that, then apparently he has not gone far from our athletes and officials, for whom the country's honor, patriotism are just words.

    Or you can recall the Belarusian athlete who left the award because the anthem was not her country, there are a lot of examples of patriotism in sports, but unfortunately not about our Olympians 2018.

        Yes, there was such a moment, ours were not taken aback and sang, well done. Although there were other options here, it was possible to act as a Belarusian athlete and show the organizers their attitude by leaving the rostrum for awarding. They really turned on the anthem at the end, but there was no sediment (from the organizers), and so there are no questions for the athletes, they behaved with dignity .....

    In this confused article I did not read anything that could change my attitude towards the Olympiad and our athletes who are going to attend it. The main thing is that the purpose of the visit is not indicated. Win against a thimble? It’s funny. Believe me, it will not work. Give athletes an attempt to realize themselves? The price is too high. And it is not clear whether all our citizens are willing to pay it. In addition, there is a real option not to declare a boycott, but not to go. After all, there is no national team, and individual athletes are free to make independent decisions. There was a real opportunity to keep the honor. It is clear that any of our participation will mean an indirect recognition of all the charges against, despite the formal refusal. The most shameful is an attempt to give our future participation some kind of patriotic flair. This is the cynicism of pure water.

Since our country cannot do anything about this humiliation, it doesn’t matter whether they go or not. Let them go - they need the money.

    I agree with the author on most points. If we are one people, now it’s important to leave squabbles and ask our athletes - do you want to go in such conditions or not? And if someone answers yes - support with all possible forces! Why? Because we are one people, and if any of us is in a situation where any choice is bad, when the efforts of our whole life are at stake, we must support. Is it not for this that we are one united people, so that when it is hard for any of us to support our own?
    They will say now that this is a personal matter of the athletes, no one forced them to spend all their lives on it, they run around and get money for it. Gentlemen, this is petty! Yes, do not care that no one forced them, do not care about money. Let it all be for the glory of an individual who may have chosen for himself not the most useful way for society. Yes, they just run and that’s it. They are of no use - even a yard cannot sweep. But, damn it, these are our people! So they decided that they want to run, figs with him, let's support them in their choice. It is important that we support them, and not what they do, and for what they do it. Flag, anthem - this is the second time. These are symbols that only designate us as a single people, but if we cannot support our own people, then the meaning of both the anthem and the flag is lost.

      As I understand it, Alexander Zhukov was very afraid for his son and for his property in the UK, probably the “honorary member of the IOC” Smirnov also experienced similar feelings. Their appearance of battered mongrels suggests that they fought for their interests and not for the interests of the country and the athletes representing it. You can throw a lot of stones at supposedly "innocent" athletes, but their fact of solidarity with their fellow workers on the shop does not do them any honor. I see that behind the officials who betrayed the country, most of whose fortune is beyond the hill, the athletes also willingly rushed into the joyous pool of betrayal. Both officials and athletes represent some kind of neutral country in which I personally and many do not live. This is their personal dirty deed, whom they will represent. I will not root for them.

    Patriotism is love for one’s homeland, respect for one’s fellow citizens and the ability to rally in the face of a common threat.
    In the recent past, many of the Russians living today considered the flag and anthem of the Soviet Union sacred. But for more than a quarter century, the new flag and the new text of the anthem of Russia have become sacred. That is, these citizens have long been patriots of the USSR, and now they have become patriots of the Russian Federation. And nothing happened to them. So you shouldn’t bang your head against the wall because of some conventions, which are also not a constant. "

    "Enemies led by the United States are trying to incite discord into Russian society by any means, not shying away from any lies and meanness. The IOC’s decision to ban the Russian flag, anthem and symbols at the Winter Olympics was made under the savage pressure of US-European provocateurs. And this is far from the last "The Russians should keep an eye on them and not engage in squabbles among themselves because of regular attacks against their country."
    True to 1000% !!! Provocateurs rub their hands in anticipation of Russia's national humiliation and its split, even in sports. We will not be substituted!

    No one argues that you need a clean Olympus. That's just the EU and the US are not "most countries", but they dictate the rules. In my understanding, the game according to "their rules" is nothing more than a demonstration of powerlessness. But why we can’t or do not want to oppose anything in this situation, the question is rather internal.

    “Even a million Olympic Games are not worth one Crimea. Even a billion Olympic Games are not worth Russia, the cohesion and well-being of its citizens, and the integrity and inviolability of its borders.” Author! So this had to start and end! Why suck out 20 fingers with dashing reasons for the "go", if in the end such a resume is inevitable? We’re not even sitting on 2 chairs, but trying to lie down on 2 sofas. I will not give 20 reasons against. Enough of three. 1) It's silly to sit down to play with cheaters. Therefore, if it is not with the IOC as a structure, then with the current IOC COMPOSITION, to cooperate is to kill yourself. 2) Given the obvious venality and politicization of the current IOC, what more reason is needed to fight the "sports of pharmacists", which, by misunderstanding, is now called the Olympics? 3) Sufferers-athletes eager for participation under the white flag will obviously be inter alia left without medals. Well, someone will be given where refereeing is extremely limited by the very nature of the sport. Most shine nothing. It turns out that "Russians cannot do anything without doping." Is this not a setup of the entire Russian State? Then Rodchenkov with the “Maclarenites” will rejoice. After that, the Russian sports federations will have to crawl on their belly, like the Germans for the Holocaust - without end and a chance for an amnesty. Stupid, greedy, cowardly - these are 3 epithets for any Russian athlete crawling on the white flag flag - stupid in terms of expectations, greedy in terms of personal fame and prizes, cowardly in terms of refusing to give the insolent answer at the state level.

    when Russian intelligence officers carry out their official duties behind enemy lines, they don’t imagine where they don’t sing the anthem of their homeland from, and they don’t wave the Russian flag in plain sight. But in their hearts they carry love for their Fatherland and secretly work in the name of its good.

    Great shots


    Imagine that Russian Olympians are your undercover agentswho are faced with the task of benefiting Russia in the sports fields of Pyeongchang - and everything in your head will fall into place.

    Could not, presented rather like that
    Two Bandera people meet, one to the other and says
    - And I did disgust to Muscovites!
    - Which one?
    - And I told them in Red Square!
    - And they didn’t do anything to you?
    - So I'm quiet, in my pants ...


    because no one died, and the country did not collapse when the Russian Paralympic team was suspended from participation in the Summer Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. There was not only the flag and anthem of Russia, but none of the Russian Paralympics at all. And in Pyeongchang there will be Russian Olympians. As the saying goes, feel the difference.

    We “screwed up” heavily with doping and were punished (we will lower its size and adequacy beyond the scope). In Rio, we framed one cheek.
    I supported our athletes who went to the championship in LA in London.
    We introduced the second cheek.

        If you do not understand, then I am for state boycott current OI.
        "Punishment" (in my opinion) we have already incurred (both in Rio and in London), to agree to further "sports sanctions" means the humiliation of the country and state.
        You correctly noticed - "show back" in sports (for example, in running or skiing), it means to be ahead. But here "substitute the ass", it is something else that has nothing to do with sports or politics, and in "everyday life" is practiced only by persons of a certain orientation.
        So, those athletes who go to such Olympics “by invitation”, when the country is actually suspended from participation, for me will become the very same “persons”.
        And to be involved (even indirectly) in this shame, I do not intend to!
        And then the author calls us
        Patriotism is love for one’s homeland, respect for one’s fellow citizens and the ability to rally in the face of a common threat...
        Therefore, the Russians should unite around V. Putin

        And then it contradicts itself
        and warmly support their athletes, who decided in such a difficult environment to defend the honor and dignity of a great Russia.

        What honor and dignity of a great Russia were they going to defend if they were going to represent myself? That is, "you rally there," while we are "solving" personal tasks here - so what ?!
        Who is to blame for the situation? “But it's officials again.”
