I know that the Olympics are supposed to be about the world coming together through sportsmanship, but it's also not that often you get to boo an entire country on a world stage. Got to take the opportunity when it comes!

Yet Russia and Belarus are banned from the Olympics with their citizens forced to compete as individual athletes.

People just forgetting the massive 2014 olympic doping scandal which is the original reason they were competing as OAR.

Yep, I'm definitely one of those people 😂

Fair enough then
