In 2016 and 2021 they won 4 golds in Wrestling. Given Japan got a clean sweep of the Wrestling golds this time, you could probably say that was one area of benefit. Japan also won 2 Golds in fencing, a sport Russia won 7 golds in the previous 2 Olympics combined.
A penny for your thoughts? @BurgeyMatt Richardson: Australian Olympian joins Great Britain cycling team
Track cyclist Matt Richardson, who won three medals for Australia at the Paris Olympics, switches nationality and will now represent Great Britain.www.bbc.co.uk
China benefited a bit too. Russia win several golds in Shooting, so without Russia, China managed 5 golds in shooting, more than before. Russia always clean sweep Artistic Swimming and do well in Rhythmic Gymnastics, but absence of Russia helped China bag 3 extra golds in these.
Well it's a disgrace. First of all, he should return all the funding which made him the athlete he is today. Secondly, the 'roids have obviously fried his idiot brain. Why anyone would choose to leave Australia to return to that bleak, dreary **** hole is beyond any sane individual.
Nah the bloke's just trying to get laid.
