Why does Russia have no national flag?

Russia has a national flag, but it cannot be raised at the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Reasons for not raising the Russian flag: Because Russia violated the regulations during the Winter Olympics in Sochi, it was punished for not allowing Russia to participate in major international sports events such as the Tokyo Olympic Games and various world championships. Athletes can only participate in the competition in their own names, and they are not allowed to wear any clothes with Russian characters or play the Russian national anthem in any of the above venues.

All this can be traced back to 65438+February 7, 2020, when Russia was banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency for two years, from 65438+February 7, 2020 to 65438+February 6, 2022. Russia will miss many major international sports events such as the 20021Tokyo Olympic Games, the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.

In 20 13, the British "Sunday post" exposed the Russian doping scandal.

In 20 14, the German media broadcast a documentary accusing the Russian track and field association of using stimulants, and then the existence of stimulants in Russia caused extensive discussions internationally.

By 20 15, the World Anti-Doping Agency accused Russian agents of violating many anti-doping regulations.

20 16 grigory rodchenkov, former director of Moscow anti-doping laboratory, exposed the drug test bottles submitted by Russian doping athletes, who were suspected of "changing the packaging" with qualified drug test samples. Subsequently, the Russian sports minister admitted that the Russian track and field association and athletes had made "serious mistakes" in taking stimulants and felt ashamed of those athletes involved in drugs.

The opening ceremony of the 2022 Winter Olympics is the 46th Winter Olympics held in Russia.

On February 4th, the opening ceremony of Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics attracted global attention, and Russia was no exception. This time, the Russian Olympic team has a strong lineup, with a total number of 4,665,438+0, of which 265,438+02 athletes will participate in all the events of the Winter Olympics.

On the night of the opening ceremony, Russian media started intensive reporting mode, and Russian CCTV 1 Russian Channel 1 TV broadcasted the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics live.
