athletes in their particular commentators won't be seeing that enough lead is from the international olympic committee and that is competing under the international olympic committee is a flag that's wrong anyway they will see that in the third came from russia so the name will be heard yes there won't be our uniform or our anthem but it will still be our russian medal our people competing for our country the main words are our country russia and these medals will anyway return to russia i wish our guys will do what no one expects us to do that is to win. and this decision comes less than a week after president putin gave his blessing to any athlete still wanting to take part in the games here's what he said. we certainly without any doubt we will not announce any blockade or prevent our athletes from competing if we want in a personal capacity. and we can't underestimate what an emotional roller coaster these athletes have been through over the past few months so cute offer that to them for still wanting to take part of heaven knows what kind of reception awaits them when they get to pyongyang chang

committee this was an absolute nightmare for the international olympic committee as it was when they had to make a similar decision before rio and i didn't really get it right then because they put it out to federations you had to make individual decisions i didn't take a collective decision and this time at least they said ok we're taking responsibility for the whole thing but it was still so difficult for them they knew they knew before the report came back that russia would be damned the question was what were they going to do about it the didn't upset that amir putin so much didn't spoil that relationship so much but appease those who wanted a blanket ban on russia so they come up with the i of the olympic athlete from russia no anthem no russian flag and olympic flag it's somewhere in the middle it's a bit of a fog but it was really difficult for them so a lot of different people to play that's always well it's an impossible task i guess but what kind of response can we expect now you can expect the same response of art all along over the past two or three years from those who.

ok well we have breaking news here from the swiss city of luzon because the international olympic committee has just ruled waiting for this information that russian police will be able to compete in the next year's winter games but only under a neutral flag it was announced by the president of the international olympic committee thomas back and that means they will not be allowed to wear russian colors the country's anthem won't be played during the medal ceremony those who will be allowed to participate might have to undergo two additional doping tests and comply with specific requirements from the world anti-doping agency ahead of this vote this evening two special commissions presented their findings to the i.o.c. with one of them looking into individual cases of russian athletes doping and the other looking at alleged state an alleged state doping scheme so that's what's happened over the last few minutes is going to discuss this a bit further is in the studio has been closely following the story is that a few weeks harsh it seems doesn't it this decision from the i.o.c. against russia
