In a sense it is, but players literally just got done with FIFA-endorsed regional events (Euro, Copa America, etc) which teams from FIFA-endorsed leagues were obligated to let their players play in. What's FIFA going to do - force the teams to let their players play in yet another FIFA-sponsored event? These teams pay their players a ****-ton of money and every time their players play in one of these events they risk them getting injured. I'm sure the teams are willing to risk that for something they won't benefit from.
SGA is looking like most unstoppable player right now. Maybe Canada bball finally realizes it’s full Olympic potential.
Silver in women's 4 x 100. Came back to just beat China. Australia, China and the US were in a class of their own
US men just dominating 4x100 free relay. Won by over 2 meters.
Canada’s basketball roster is pretty easily the best non USA team I’ve ever seen in terms of net talent. On par with a good NBA playoff team pretty easily.
Canada and Greece chirping at each other after the final buzzer.
Canada holds on.
Canada holds on.
My wife just put on the most boring event at these Olympic games: equestrian canter. Then I asked myself and her "why isn't there Olympic jousting?" She's not speaking to me right now.
Nah, it’s not like the athletes can’t compete. They can.

F around and find out, also this isn't the winter games where Russia has a greater impact.
And the athletes can still compete just not under the Russian flag. Not the first time this has happened
