The country is banned, but its athletes can still compete under a different name.. that includes the banned country's name.. what the hell kind of ban is that? If you're gonna get banned - that's the way to go.. still get to compete, for the same country, under a slightly different name..
That's kinda what I thought, too. So the ROC doesn't carry the Russian flag or play the country's national anthem. But the Russian athletes still get to compete. Sooooo... they're not banning the athletes, just the flag and the music?? Goofy is right.
