For example, the Russian national team can still qualify for the World Cup finals in 2022, but if successful would have to compete as a neutral team in Qatar.

This is getting close. Will we be starting new threads for each event? Seems like the only way to have an organized discussion. I will moderate the subforum if need be.

It's going to get crowded, but it's really the only way to organize discussion.

One of my students who just graduated may be our number 2 female gymnast. Her name is Suni Lee. I hope she makes it.

A distant cousin of mine was an ice dancer in the Olympics for the US. Related to me through my Dutch ancestor who was murdered for crimes against aboriginal people in Australia.
