How Russia's media is scorning 'the Olympics of Hell' after athlete ban | BBC News

- Russian athletes are not allowed to compete in the Paris Olympics because of their country's war in Ukraine.
Mariya Lasitskene won gold in high jump at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and is a three-time world champion, but is not there to defend her title.
The Olympics in Paris are also not even being shown on TV in Russia, which hasn’t happened since the Soviet Union boycotted the Los Angeles Olympics 40 years ago.
15 Russians have been competing in Paris as "neutral athletes" in sports like canoeing and tennis.
They’re not allowed to present themselves as a national team, so no Russian flags, no national anthem. And the individual athletes have had to undergo a vetting procedure to establish they have no links to the Russian military or security agencies and do not actively support the war in Ukraine.

The state sponsored doping is also kind of a deal breaker. 🙄
Their records in '84 and '88 need to get wiped
These Olympics are so nice and Clean...
That’s not even the “reason” they were banned
It should have been the reason they were banned
Yeah sure. And American athletes get their failed doping tests swept under the rug, just US war crimes.
The modern Olympics were always about politics and countries strength. You are fool if you think otherwise 😂
Olympics has always been about politics.
In this case it's about sending a message to Russia
@user-ds8rj2vc4v a rainbow flagged message? So the Russians would be glad they couldn't participate
So there will be no point of hosting an Olympic Games for any countries anymore.
Incorrect. What you say is only correct for communist countries. You can look it up.
Russians are glad that they are not taking part in this shameful Olympics, a competition of freaks and perverts.
Either Russia AND Israel, etc. should have been banned, or neither and let all athletes compete. The moral inconsistency is sickening.
Nope, israel didn't start shit, false equivalency, iran should've been banned tho, supplying arms to both russia and terrorists in the middle east.
100%
Usa ban
K Boomer kiss kiss kiss 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋@@manjusingh-ri7uf
You mean Russia and Gaza. Israel never invaded until after Gaza broke the ceasefire
Why have they been banned? America wasnt banned for invading iraq
America also didn’t take districts of Iraq and claim they are now part of the US. See the difference.
What "America"? There is not such a country in the map.

it was...the worst olympics in history
@@k.laszlo1304 My brother in christ have you SEEN Munich?
The athletes of Israel participate and the athletes of Russia banned, double standard like usual
Russia is not banned, those athletes chose not to go. Otherwise they could compete as Individual Neutral Athletes. However, in case of Russia they might have been branded as "foreign agent" or locked up in jail upon return ☝️
And the same shit in Eurovision. It's just sickening.

No countries should be banned from Olympics. It is sports and should be beyond politics.
If some country is being banned, the same should apply to others as well to be consistent. There is a clear hypocrisy here.
It isn't politics. Russia was banned indefinitely for state-sponsored doping. It was banned years ago, regardless of its more recent war crimes. It was banned for doping, for using steroids, for cheating. It's about corrupt sportsmanship.
who gave the olympics the power to ban country's olympics should not interfere with politics
if you ban russia why not ban israel they are doing the exact same thing but worse
Russian athletes are not banned, they could participate.
They are banned@@annas4714
But Russia has long been banned because the state promotes doping. They're cheats and *equal* (not lesser) war criminals. Last time I checked, Israel is 'only' run by war criminals, *not* sponsoring doping for its athletes. That's the difference.
@@annas4714Yes, participate without their flag, anthem... No, thanks! Ever heard of national pride?
@@annahearts Your deflection notwithstanding, at the moment there is nothing to be proud of. But the chance to make a career for an athlete is very short-lived, that's why there are Russian participants, flag or no flag.
Not fair at all. What about Israel-Palestine, Armenia-Azerbaijan, USA- Iraq, Iran,India-Pakistan
What about this.. stfu you sound stupid
One of the athletes from drug cheats Australia was arrested for cocaine offence in paris today. What more to say ? 🤣🤣🤣
Didn’t they also allow a convicted Australian child s*x offender to participate in the games too. You couldn’t make any of this up.
How can the BBC say anything about other country's media?
They have no shame.
They such total British hypocrites, Israel was not band.

@@isitoveryet9525still valid, surely - or do you think that Soviet-US relations are so different these days?
Let’s be honest. As long as the athletes are playing under national flags and playing national anthems when they won, it will be about politics.
they complain but are complicit it one of the biggest lies of the century
Russians are glad that they are not taking part in this shameful Olympics, a competition of freaks and perverts.
That's typical Dictator Putin, Xi behavior.
Dictator Xi is complaining his olympian athletes tested positive for Doping.
BBC always cutting answers at fit places 😂
Это способ лжи
Fodder for the masses
Why have you closed the comment section on the UK riots video, while keeping it open on other videos?
Was also asking same question 😂😂 but it’s not surprising though 🤣🤣🤣
Power & control
This is what happens when the far right declare war against the people by burning a library, food bank, shoe zone and tried to set fire to a hotel full of kids not to mention the race checkpoints. I think the knuckleheads made their point.
Maybe because a bunch of racist mobs being arrested leads to more inciting by more racists. When January 6th happened in the states maybe a comment section was filled with “Revolution” comments by pro-Trump and MAGA accounts. Same with the BLM protests and riots, where racist people called for killing the protestors.
The BBC is non-partisan state news, they don’t want more incitement by online bigots, trolls, or bots.
Double standards!!!!! America invaded Iraq, Libya, Syria Afghanistan
Israel, a more modern example too
rusian washed up bot detected
The difference is they didn't seek to conquer and annex it, to make it part of their own country. That's some century+ old behavior that no one does anymore, unless you are a failing nation.
Russian puppets always play double standard
@@pkal244 So if you just invade with millions of victims it's fine then?
Could a Russian journalist interview people in Britain about the riots please? Or are there double standards?
Russia seems to be more free-speech country then UK nowadays.
Classic “you can’t break up with me, I’m breaking up with you!” Rapist behavior
Mariya is probably the greatest female high jumper of all time. Shame that the British-led (by clueless Lord Coe) World Athletics didn’t even let compete as neutral to defend her title. That just raise doubt of any winner in High Jump event!!!
BBC has a reporter in Moscow? Is that safe?
Yes. They just have to sing up as a “Foreign agent” and filter heavily what they say. If you pay attention they don’t ask Russians any hard questions.
I bet they heavily controlling what Steve Rosenberg wants to publish...
Isn't it telling how quickly the topic of war was cut off by the brief statement that they "protect the people"?
BBC has reporters in Paris also. Are they safe?
Definitely safer than whatever's going on in the UK now.
@@AmateurRider275lol. "But Russia has invaded Ukraine" seems quite a soft question, eh?
I'm very pro Ukraine, but these women are right. The Olympics are supposed to be apart from politics, bringing the world together, but it has become anything but.
That's western hypocrisy incarnate you making part of it. Some time you will wake up

What is this hypocrisy
But Israel is competing??
W ISRAEL, 6 medals so far in Paris 2024. That’s more than the entire Arab world. Imagine that.

I cant understand. Reporters are allowed in Russia, but not in Gaza; russians are banned in the olympics, but not israel? Is that indeed the case?
The difference is Israel is retaliating and defending, while Russia is offending.

Worst Olympics in history I agree 👍🏽💯
The television ratings worldwide suggest you're rather alone with your opinion.
The Russian athletes should have been allowed to participate
That's why the Olympics began
The classical Olympics enforced a truce. If Russia wants to take part they can withdraw their invaders at any time
01:12 No.
Olympics historically were a time of peace. Everyone dropped their conflicts and fighting during Olympics was sacrilegious (it was like war crimes back then). Now it's a completely different world...
@@Joshpox The conflict was started by US/NATO.
@JohnSmith-fz1wh
No it wasn't. The conflict was started by Russia illegally annexing Crimea.
IOC, French government, politicians, so called journalists, and everyone who advocated for Russian ban have absolutely disgraced the spirit of Olympics. Many many fans are angry!
Staying silence is not "neutral." It is accomplice.
She defended Russia's invasion of Ukraine saying, "Russia's protecting its people." Ridiculous! I'm sure the reporter is thinking she's insane.

Russia is protecting their people. Are you aware of the ethnic makeup of Donbass?

@@airis3333 You seem kind of unintelligent. The Olympics barred them from displaying the Russian flag (spelled with 2 s's) but they were born in Russia, live in Russia and have Russian passports. That makes them Russians. In the Olympics.
@@airis3333 It makes them even better Russians actually because they still chose to participate without supporting their garbage dictator midget small dick Putin and his illegal war. Good for them. The true pride of their nation. Keep crying.
Sports and Entertainment industry should be kept separate from politics.
Interestingly, the Olympic Truce from ancient Greek times was revived by the UN General Assembly in 1993. You can tell yourself that it's not politics that saw Russia excluded from the Paris Olympics, but a clear rule violation. Russia is, after all, waging an illegal war of aggression in Ukraine.
ruSSian sheer jealousy for seeing countries from all over the world unite in sports, unity and happiness. All they know is how to create destruction, pain and death.
And no other country has contributed to mankind's destruction, pain and death? I can name 5 that are currently in Paris. Let us not be hypocrites here.
@@Tomf-tz4pd ruSSia’s main line of policy now, that is, ok, ruSSia is bad… but every other country is!
Who do you think you are kidding Put? Go sell drugs (like you used to do during your Germany stint).
But these are the worst Olympics, I don't think anyone would object that.
Don't I need to remind you that America sent military aid to Israel ?????😂😂
@@Tomf-tz4pd Basically any nation/kingdom/empire that flexed power has done bad things. That is the history of human politics (in the broad sense of the word). So you're right, nobody is innocent. But maybe the point was to draw a line at least somewhere. Maybe this will become trend for a deterrent for aggressive and inhumane behavior in the future.
Thanks 😂 it gave a bless to my country Indonesia. We win weight lifting gold medal for the first time. Maybe if russian athlete join the paris olympic we can't win it 🤣

@@CyberLexaLolboth on steroids
Both Russia and Belarus have boycotted the Olympics,they can attend as neutral but not representing their country,the level of competition would be effect as some Olympic champions are not there
Steve Rosenberg is not afraid of being taken hostage or expelled like the woman before him. If countries win medals and not people, it is politics.
Steve Rosenberg is not afraid of being jailed for criticism because everyone knows that Karamurza was jailed not for criticism, but for collaborating in inflicting sanctions on Russia…
Well it’s too bad the athletes are hurt by this but so long as the Russian people are sheltered by the propaganda, there will be no impact of diplomatic pressure such as banning them from participating in international activity including the Olympics
Easy for you to say, but what about the athletes who have given their lives to sports and discipline. Even Nazi Germany hosted the Olympics.

This is not good , politics and war is nothing to do with sports. War in Ukraine is not only by Russia but NATO is equally involved. This Olympic is not fair for sports individuals. Absence of top athletes of Russia means some winners should feel guilty coz Russians are also equally good in many events. We want next Olympic should be fair enough to see all countries competing. Thank you.
NATO is not equally involved, if they were then the Russian army would be defeated by the NATO army.

In a sense, true. But Russia has long been banned because the state promotes doping. They're cheats and war criminals. Last time I checked, Israel is 'only' run by war criminals, not sponsoring doping for its athletes. That's the difference.
Well, they never excluded US for invading and destroying Irak, Libya, Siria, Yugoslavia. Those murderers are still walking free despite the fact that everyone saw the evidence of their atrocities provided by Julian Assange.
Worst Olympics in living memory, it is not just the Russian media scorning the Olympics, but the entire internet. Memes of swimmers vomiting after getting out of the Seine.

LOL. Russia is protecting the Ukrainians she said. Similar to how the Poles felt in 39 I guess.
I believe she's more about protecting the Russian in Ukrain, similarly to how Hitler meant to protect the Sudeten Germans in Chechoslovakia. So it's very justified that they're banned, since they repeat to the letter what the Nazis did in 1939
