^^^ The caption in Latvian by the Russian official reads: WE DEMAND THAT THESE SPORTS BE INCLUDED AS WELL. By Latvian cartoonist Gatis Šļūka. 

As long as Russia is committing war crimes in Ukraine, which includes killing Ukrainian athletes, it should not be permitted to participate in the 2024 Olympics.

If Russia does not act like a normal country then it should not be treated like a normal country. Starting a war of aggression against a peaceful neighbor and following a policy of genocide are not normal.

Sean Ingle at The Guardian:

The US swimmer Lia Thomas, who rose to global prominence by becoming the first transgender athlete to win a NCAA college title, is taking legal action in a bid to compete again in elite female sport – including the Olympics. Thomas has not swum since World Aquatics introduced new rules in 2022, which prohibit anyone who has undergone “any part of male puberty” from the female category. Before then, transgender women were able to compete if they lowered their testosterone levels. In a scientific policy document that informed its decision, World Aquatics said that swimmers such as Thomas retained significant physical advantages – in endurance, power, speed, strength and lung size – from undergoing male puberty, even after reducing their testosterone levels through medication. Thomas, who was a moderate swimmer in the male category before transitioning, has now recruited the Canadian law firm Tyr to take a case to the court of arbitration for sport in Switzerland. However, because the 25-year-old is not currently registered with US swimming, it is understood that the case is highly unlikely to be heard before the Paris Olympics.

The move, revealed by the Daily Telegraph, is the latest twist in the fractious debate between those who argue that fairness and safety in women’s sport is paramount and others who maintain that the inclusion of transgender athletes should be prioritised. Thomas has always denied transitioning to get ahead. “The biggest misconception, I think, is the reason I transitioned,” Thomas said in 2022. “People will say: ‘Oh, she just transitioned so she would have an advantage, so she could win.’ I transitioned to be happy, to be true to myself.”

Trans woman swimmer Lia Thomas is taking action to sue World Aquatics that bars trans women from competing in female events if they have begun any part of male puberty. Hopefully she wins her case.

From @visegrad24

The tone-deaf International Olympic Committee (IOC) is considering letting Russians participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Russia was banned from the World Cup and deserves the same treatment for the Olympics.

If the IOC refuses to change its stand, the French government should hint that it would refuse entry to Russian athletes next year for the games.

Russia, Belarus, North Korea, and Iran can hold their own totalitarian games elsewhere if they wish. 

The IOC has had fascism issues dating back to the 1930s.

Who can forget the Hitler Olympics?

Juan Antonio Samaranch was head of the IOC from 1980 to 2001. But before that he was a loyal follower of Spain’s fascist dictator Francisco Franco. He even served as Franco’s Minister of Sports from 1967 to 1971. As late as 1974 he could be seen in public giving fascist salutes.

^^^ Samaranch had the most Hitlerian style in that crowd. Some of the other people there were more flaccid and even more kept their hands down totally. It’s not like he was obliged to do that.

The IOC needs to make a clean break with its fashie past. It can start by not caving to Putin.
