Putin commented on the removal of the Russian national team from the Olympics

December 6 2017 524

Vladimir Putin, who announced today that he is running for another presidential term, commented on the situation with the dismissal of the Russian team from participation in the Olympic Games. According to the president (and now it is five minutes to a candidate), the Russian authorities will not prevent the participation of Russian athletes in the OY-2018 in Pyeongchang, who are ready to perform under a neutral flag.

Putin commented on the removal of the Russian national team from the Olympics

Vladimir Putin during a meeting with employees of the GAZ plant:

We, without any doubt, will not declare any blockade, we will not prevent our Olympians from taking part if one of them wants to take part in a personal capacity. First, we must say directly that we are partly to blame for this, because we have given a reason for this. And secondly, I think that this reason was used not entirely honestly, to put it mildly.

Putin said that many athletes had been preparing for these international competitions for many years, he knows “many athletes personally”, and therefore they will not take prohibitive measures against Russian athletes.

Further, the president, in essence, repeated the thesis of the press secretary Peskov, noting that “the situation must be dealt with carefully” and entrust the final decision to the Olympic Assembly.

It is unlikely that after the words of Putin, the Olympic Assembly will take a different decision on the participation of Russian athletes as "singles" - without a flag, a hymn and other attributes of the country, which made them (athletes) real masters of the sporting business.

"IF YOUR ENEMIES SCRUDE YOU, IT MEANS YOU ARE DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT." Based on this, it should be understood that all the talk about how after SUCH HUMILIATION I will not vote for Putin is pure provocation and... This is how you write “HUMILIATION” is the result of the correct foreign policy of the President of the Russian Federation. And if you don’t want to vote for him because he is pursuing the right foreign policy, then who are you then? Think about it. Another thing is that as a result of political decisions made by the President, victims appeared in our society (athletes and, to a lesser extent, fans), for whom it would be nice to somehow compensate for these “sufferings”, and not declare that we will not interfere with the performance of our athletes at the Olympic Games under a neutral flag. But here, as always, with regard to domestic politics, she has been Mr. for all 17 years, and remains Mr. But still, for Crimea and the RUSSIAN SPRING 2014 alone, our president is worthy of voting for him. There are simply no others worthy.

I don’t like this story myself, but honestly. Racing through the mountains, swimming at speed for a shell and then, at speed, returning it to where you took it, enduring endless injuries and sprains. Be able to recover quickly. Well, how can you prohibit performing at the main competition? I still “sunbathed” at the Olympic base of the Soviet Union.

Most of those commenting are not interested in this, that is not what they are here for.
The main thing for them is to shout loudly about traitors in power, in sports, in space.
Anywhere - the main thing is louder and for any reason. This is real hysteria.
And this is just the Olympics, in a country with other things to do and tasks in bulk, without which it simply might not exist.
I imagine with horror that suddenly something really significant for life would happen - well, there is a man-made disaster, or some other misfortune.
This chorus of screaming people here would probably have died from zeal, in choking.

We, each of us, express our purely personal point of view, Putin also has his own, personal point of view, but he is the president and should speak like a president, and not express his point of view. And I understand him perfectly. Each athlete must decide for himself to go or not to go to the disgrace, the president cannot prohibit, he has no right, today he forbade the athlete to go, tomorrow he forbade tourists to go, the day after tomorrow he will cancel the elections.
But we will see what kind of athletes we have, what is important to them, the honor of the Motherland or eating sweets and sleeping in a warm place.
A good response to the nation would be to take all the sponsors who pay for the shame of our country and for 4 years refuse to purchase goods under their brands. Let them know our answer.

It’s somehow strange that our people in power understand the protection of athletes. What kind of protection is there if the strongest have already been protected and no help will help them? Moreover, with their position on agreeing to send second numbers, our leadership is actually finishing off our best athletes. Those. all this la-la is aimed solely at casting a fog on the real course of things and the real position of our leadership, which did not protect our athletes, but leaked them.

All hope lies with Comrade UN, or more precisely on the fact that the 3.14ndos will nevertheless stage a loud provocation during the Olympic Games. This cheerful dude will probably respond with missile attacks on the 3.14ndos and their sixes, and missiles with a “surprise” will fly at the staffers and yaps. It is EXTREMELY desirable that the Chinese support the DPRK in repelling US aggression, which will be the reason for an epic mess.

  what's wrong? to be Russia an outcast for half the world? the percentage for Sobchak is the percentage of dementia in the Russian Federation. here patriots are tearing ass for the flag and country, to put it mildly. Athletes have long been people of the world, and the Olympic Charter flag is a flag, not a rag. Whether you want it or not, it unites the world, the fact that it was undermined by businessmen today is the answer to this. or did half of those present change their native flag for cover - who should we count them as? Putin said and did the right thing, we don’t need to be like the Westerners by ignoring the games, and everyone should get what they deserve - I’m talking about the athletes’ fees. here someone correctly said about the flags on the podium and the anthem of the fans - nothing can prohibit them from being sold out. athletes who are self-confident need to go and win, but whether to take corrupt metal or leave it on the pedestal for the circus organizers is the decision of each athlete, taking into account love and devotion to the homeland.

I read the comments. I have the feeling that all the patriots have nowhere to go, and our athletes are supposedly the only traitors. They will still fight for the honor of the country and “take away” medals from all the smart guys (enemies) and thus the amount of gold or silver even for the winning countries will be not 20 (or 30), but 10 (15). And most importantly, Any smart-ass president will be asked: were you won by athletes from a neutral country? And what kind of neutral country is this? Aaaah... .. uuuuu, Well, which one? Well...RUSSIA. Moreover, our channels will not show the Olympic Games.

The main thing that our opponents managed to do was split the country (public opinion). Not to go - many have been working towards this for years and the meaning of their lives is lost; to go - Russia was allowed to compete as an Olympic team of athletes from Russia and many should try their hand. Many of the famous athletes by shouting “not to go” do not lose anything, because They themselves already have fame and medals in the past.
If I were the state leadership, I would pay attention to the sponsors of the games - as a rule, they do not produce anything significant - and, under a far-fetched pretext, ban the import of Rima shoes into the Russian Federation due to the “crippling” properties of the sole. Information from social networks, of course. We need to deal with our “dear” partners as they do with us - shamelessly and unprincipled. Ban the broadcast, introduce a fine for showing it (ruining). It is necessary to hit the sponsors of the Olympic Games with rubles - for clarity, the situation with PACE - they did not pay a measly 30 million dollars, but to the shouting... In the Olympic Games the bill runs into billions.

Don’t go, send, boycott, traitors...... very good. great, beautiful and right, to fight for the Motherland, hurray (I'm not kidding)! BUT calm down and look at the conditions in which those who gave their health to their Motherland now live, served it faithfully and truly without sparing their lives, I’m talking about veterans of the Second World War, Afghans, two Chechen wars, and so on on the list. How do the families of those who died for their Motherland live? How did this particular state called the Russian Federation thank them? So, God forgive me, this is the state’s attitude towards it. And athletes are also people and not very stupid. And they understand that today they will support the state and sacrifice everything, and tomorrow it will shit on their heads, and they will vegetate in poverty and oblivion because they don’t need anyone and they don’t know how to do anything else except run, jump, etc. Unfortunately, the current state is a parasite in my homeland. And I don’t consider myself to have the right to condemn those who will go there to fight for themselves, because this state betrayed them and put them in the same conditions as all of us. In order to climb into an embrasure, you need to understand the ultimate goal and see the need to perform such an act. What did the Supreme say? DO WHAT YOU WANT, I DON’T CARE....., I WILL NOT INTERFER. All the best.

Quit the IOC, don't pay fees and don't send athletes. It is better to use these contributions to hold competitions within the country.

[I saw how the SGA and the company, who boycotted the Olympic Games in Moscow in 1980, “did not take part” for two terms... [/ Quote]
Yes, that’s right, we saw it... As a result of two mutual boycotts of the Olympic Games by the USSR and the USA, additional articles were introduced into the IOC Charter, at the instigation of the then IOC President Samaranch, on serious sanctions against the NOC of a country that tries to boycott, up to and including disqualification of the corresponding national team for one or more future Olympics, suspension of membership or complete expulsion of the country from the IOC. Although, in fairness, it must be said that there were boycotts of the Olympic Games before. The very first case of boycott was initiated by the IOC itself at: the Olympic Games in 1920 in relation to Germany and its allies for unleashing the First World War. The young USSR was also boycotted. The official reason for the lack of an official response to the Soviet request was the non-recognition of the RSFSR’s financial obligations of the previous regime, from which a lack of continuity logically followed. IOC member Lev Urusov in the 1920s developed a project for a parallel and equal participation of two Russian national teams at once - the Soviet and the emigrant, but it remained without approval from the International Olympic Committee. Then almost all the Olympic Games were boycotted by someone. But the most interesting thing is that the first example of the very possibility of a boycott of the Olympic Games was given by the IOC.

- To the point of frenzy...
- Thus, delegitimize / raise, at a minimum, questions about the IOC’s decision.
- Find your “informants” and fill the entire top of the IOC with smelly and liquid compromising evidence. I’m sure you’ll find something... It’s possible even with fakes in half... Let’s remember one propagandist: the crazier the news, the better they believe in it (not literally).
- Cut off financial relations with the IOC in the bud!!!!!! And I don’t care about excommunication from the Games for 2-3-4-5... seasons. Because the games have lost their meaning: today you won a medal, and after 4-5 years someone resets it... The awards have become worthless...
- Hold more international competitions at home; I am sure that the “people” will catch up, because all athletes are interested in winning and proving their strength in competitions not with “Zimbabwe”, but with the strongest!!!!!! For example, figure skating or hockey. What is winning gold worth in these disciplines without Russian teams?!?!?!?!

I don’t understand, so I’m still confused and at a loss...

Personally, I understood his “It’s our own fault.” As if there was such a human apology for the fact that he either did not have time, or exchanged the Olympics for a more significant event. It’s not clear whether it was impossible to defend, or whether the Olympics are a pawn in the big game.
