Shameful 👎

The IOC deprived Britain of the right to hold qualifying tournaments for breaking (breakdancing), skateboarding, sport climbing and BMX freestyle for the 2024 Olympics due to "discriminatory" requirements for athletes from Russia and Belarus. The British government required athletes from these countries to sign declarations of non-support for the war. The IOC said that such actions could put athletes in a difficult position when they return to Russia. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/britain-barred-from-hosting-olympic-qualifying-events-mbpl7njvl
