  1. Question, if a neutral person wins what do they play for the anthem?

  2. I can sense the ankwardness of the situation from here

  3. Crazy to me that Russia is banned for committing war crimes yet Israel is allowed to compete

  4. I thought neutral athletes weren’t included in medal ceremonies

  5. haha, ukraine got first and greater ukraine got 2nd and 3rd. slava ukraine

  6. This is one of the most unhappy I’ve seen three medal winning sportspeople be

  7. There are surprisingly many NPAs at the paralympics, much more than the olympics. Do they have to prove no link with the russian government or such thing in order to compete?

  8. While it’s sure awkward, my understanding was that Russia was against their people competing neutrally, so I doubt any of these dudes are big fans of mother Rusky.

  9. Should’ve just called them NWA. If Snoop can be in the Olympics, NWA in the Paralympics.

  10. Pretty sure they used to use the Olympic flag. Now it’s just generic text.

  11. You want it to be awkward. These are athletes, not soldiers or politicians. Ordinary Russians and Ukrainians can indeed sit at the same table together, even now, and be upset about everything that’s going on in their area.

  12. The NPA athletes: “I had better stay away from windows for a little while.”

  13. Russian weren’t allowed to compete in the olympics but were allowed to in the special olympics?

  14. No matter which way you paint it I think not displaying the flag just because it’s Russia, is racism. Didn’t see them doing that to China or North Korea.
