Officially, the Russian Athletics Federation has been suspended from the competition. Russian sportsmen and sportswomen going to the start in Doha perform under neutral flag. Because of this, very strange scenes arise at the World Cup.

She again became the world champion - Maria Lasitskene, a woman who has been jumping higher than all her competitors for many years now. This time, for the title of champion, it was enough to overcome the bar at a height of 2.04 m. Her young competitor, Ukrainian Yaroslav Maguchy, unexpectedly dropped out of the competition. Lasickene is a quiet champion, when she wins, only a smile appears on her face. On Monday, she made a lap of honor around the stadium, giving out kisses, but there was no flag on her shoulders. Because Lasitskene is Russian.

National anthem banned

Thirty Russian athletes took to the starts in Doha, although their federation is still suspended from the competition. Russian athletes got into Doha through the back door, which the International Athletics Association opened for them. They were able to take part in the championship in the status of Authorized Neutral Athletes, that is, neutral athletes. Therefore, they are not allowed to show any distinctive signs of their country, including flags - it is forbidden even to paint their nails with varnishes of national colors. And you can't sing the Russian anthem in the hotel either.

Non-Russian gold Lasitskene

13.08.2017

On Sunday, Russian pole vaulter Anzhelika Sidorova won gold. And, making a circle of honor, she looked somewhat confused. Her American colleague with the Stars and Stripes ran beside her, and on the left, the Greek flag fluttered on the shoulders of the bronze medalist. Sidorova just ran, clapping her hands. She later said, "Of course I didn't feel well about it." But still, gold is gold.

Shortly before the World Championship, the World Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) extended the disqualification of Russia. Earlier it became known that the Russians manipulated the long-promised data on doping. We are talking about samples from 2013-2015, presented earlier this year to the International Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). But the International Athletic Association's Russia Task Force report also lists other Russian transgressions: Russian high jumper Danil Lysenko was disqualified last year, having previously become world indoor champion in neutral status. The athlete did not properly inform the inspectors of his whereabouts and later admitted that the Russian Federation athletics helped him forge documents to cover up misconduct.

Russia may not be allowed to Olympic Games — 2020

In June, Reuters reported that two Russian coaches and one doctor involved in the state doping system continue to work with Russian athletes. There are reports that other dubious individuals are still active in Russian athletics - this is stated in the report of the Task Force International Association. It also says that it is not clear if there have been any cultural changes in Russian athletics.

Patience is over

The quiet world champion Lasickene can't take it anymore. Back in June, she wrote to social networks: “I hope that the people involved in this endless shame still have the courage to leave. Himself."
