How do you think Russian athletes are excluded from the World Figure Skating Championships?

Recently, the war between Russia and Ukraine is under intense mediation. During this period, the news broke out that Russian athletes were not allowed to participate in the World Championships, which attracted many people's attention and had different views. The author of this paper thinks that this is extremely unreasonable and harmful to sports spirit. What is the relationship between national war and athletes' participation in sports? This is what I don't understand.

The International Skating Federation announced that Russia and Belarus were banned from participating in world competitions including the World Figure Skating Championships indefinitely, and Russian athletes could not participate. After the men's singles and women's singles, they retired due to injury, and now three golden flowers have no chance to participate. The attraction of this World Flower Skating Championships has been greatly reduced, and all kinds of sanctions behind it have directly plunged Russian sports into the cold winter. Frankly speaking, these decisions not only violate the rules and regulations of sports events, but also violate the spirit of sports.

There used to be a saying that sports have nothing to do with politics, but the behavior of the International Skating Federation has firmly tied ice sports with politics, hurting countless athletes and coaches who have paid for it. At the Winter Olympics, President Bach increased more unity after being faster, higher and stronger, but only after half a year, the International Olympic Committee suggested that the Russian family was contrary to more unity. What will happen to a series of sanctions? How will Russia's ice sports be impacted? As spectators and fans, we must sit tight and wait for the situation to change, that's all.

To sum up, we can understand that this practice has completely combined sports and political factors, which is obviously inappropriate and should not be done. If everyone combines politics with sports and other literary and artistic projects, it will completely violate the purpose of the Olympic Games. This is the sorrow in human history and this is also the sorrow of this society, so I don't support this practice.
