Grand Kirby 12/05/17 1:55:21 PM #9:	In fact, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that an all-out ban would be humiliating for Russia, and could possibly provoke a boycott. Of course, since Russia is now completely banned from the games, a boycott doesnt really seem like it would be that effective. lol --- Okay, I rolled a 14. What's that mean?

It'd be amazing if some average bum could exploit a loophole and win a medal with an Olympic Neutral hockey team full of Russian players. Based on previous examples you have to be from either a suspended nation, a nation without an Olympic committee or a refugee. To qualify you either need to qualify a spot from a qualification event, have a high world ranking or achieve a minimum performance (either by time or points) --- Congratulations to BKSheikah for winning the guru <cite>charmander6000 posted [p:891640558] in Russia ban...

Kuwait was banned during the 2016 Summer Olympics, one of their athletes even won gold so they played the Olympic anthem India was banned during the beginning of the 2014 Winter Olympics and became unbanned during the games so some of their athletes got to compete under the Indian flag.
