I understand this is a near impossible task, but sports (particularly the athletes) and politics should stay separate.
That ship has sailed in the 1936 at the latest. Every authoritative regime will sooner or later try to use successes of their athletes for propaganda(the “neutral flag” sham notwithstanding). There is no reason to give them the opportunity.
And that it affects the careers of the athletes? Maybe, but let me remind you that Ukrainians are still dying, probably by hundreds a day. And so do their athletes.
You know which russian neighbour also didn’t have any problems? Norway. And you know what? They have been a NATO founding member. Coincidence? I don’t think so. The only one who is going to have a problem is vova.
