i'm thinking of the gymnast who had to compete alongside ivan kuliak.ian won the competition. but on the podium, kuliak, on his vest, inscribed the z insignia which is being used by russian forces. how do you think that would have made a ukrainian athlete feel? it's a painful situation, but, you know, in the history of sports and, just generally in the world, there's been a lot of cases. you know, if you go back to the �*80s, when the us boycotted the moscow olympics and then the ussr boycotted the los angeles 0lympics, you know, you could also see that as the dreams of hundreds of athletes have, you know, been sacrificed in the name of politics. so, not competing, i don't think it's right, because sports should be about sports. and, of course, it's painful because it's two very close peoples. just a thought on president putin and sport. i'm going to quote to you an academic expert on russia and sport, lukas aubin, who said, "putin has used sport as an element of power not only because it's part of his personality, but he's created a big sporting system
