I admit I would find it some kind of poetic justice if Russian athletes did not do well at these Olympics, just because of the anti-human rights path this country has taken.
Are you kidding? You want to hold the athletes responsible for the actions of politicians? Just for that, I hope the Russians medal at every event!
You want to see countries with more "positive, inclusive ideals" do well...and who would that be? (Though if you were suggesting medals for Team Australia, I wouldn't argue. )
