Russia Banned From 2018 Winter Olympics by I.O.C.

Quote

LAUSANNE, Switzerland — Russia’s Olympic team has been barred from the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The country’s government officials are forbidden to attend, its flag will not be displayed at the opening ceremony and its anthem will not sound. Any athletes from Russia who receive special dispensation to compete will do so as individuals wearing a neutral uniform, and the official record books will forever show that Russia won zero medals.

So anyone else hoping that Andre Degrasse will medal in any of the track events (unless Usain Bolt has changed his mind about being done) or if Penny Oleksiak will strike gold again?
