Russians at the Winter Olympics

Day -126 WorldCup2018

It's fascinating that I'm watching so much Olympics the day before the opening ceremony. Imagine there being World Cup football the day before the opening ceremony and match. Actually, that's a terrible comparison. Who remembers a World Cup opening ceremony? The only thing, things, that come to mind are the giant inflatable stick figure footballers flapping around in the wind in Milan in 1990.

What will the Russians do on June 14th, I wonder. Or do I? Talking about Russians, is there not some comical irony in the fact that the non-official, non-Russian, non-team of Russian athletes at the Olympics have an official team uniform? Shouldn't they all just be wearing whatever they want with an IOC logo on their track suits and shirts?
