Russia (as a team) made it impossible for me to watch Euros.
I hope this is not a divisive discussion and we are all on the same page here but I need to get his off my chest. It was really hard to watch this euros and see Russia compete as a team. Them not technically being called Russia was just bs. It was Russia, moreover, it was Putin's Russia. If we are saying that the war has nothing to do with the athletes, do not let them compete as a team and let them qualify as individual athletes. It's very simple. Melnikova used to be (and perhaps still is) one of my favourite athletes, I loved following the documentary they did with her, Morgan Hurd and Chen Yile. However, now, when I see her all I see is what she has chosen to stand up for. This is beyond heartbreaking and honestly made it impossible for me to watch the euros, because of how upset I was. Now I'm stuck listening to gymcastic to find out what happened...
