The Russians didn’t give a damn about the IOC and took out the flags of the Russian Federation in all the stands
Bans cannot stop us. This was confirmed by Russian fans at the Olympic Games in South Korea. On the first day of the Games in all stands, Russian tricolors could be seen in great abundance.
On February 9, at the opening of the Olympics, the head of the International Olympic Committee, Thomas Bach, began his speech with the words “pure sport” and “the unacceptability of doping.” During his speech, in all five stands, our fans waved Russian flags. But the American Philip Wahuda, who protested against the IOC’s decision to prevent Russian athletes, turned our tricolor in particular.
South Korean fans also made up his company, defiantly waving the flags of the Russian Federation.
On the first day of the Games, when our hockey players almost completely wiped out the South Korean national team, Russian fans unfurled a 3-meter white-red-blue flag.
Russian athletes, seeing our flags in the stands, perked up. As the Olympians later admitted, they did not expect to see their native tricolors and this definitely gave them strength.
