Komova finally proud of London Silver

At the London Olympics you could argue that either Gabby Douglas or Viktoria Komova deserved the gold. LIVE at the time, I thought Gabby was slightly better in the AA competition.

17-year-old Komova did not take the loss well.

I was disappointed in her attitude at the time. Poor sportsmanship.

Now I can say this: ⠀ I’m proud of myself! I’m proud of my performance! And I’m glad I went to the Olympics! 🎉 ⠀ This is my sports pride for life ♥️”

Russia appeals to Court of Arbitration

The Court of Arbitration for Sport said Tuesday that Russian officials have filed appeals against governing bodies in soccer, figure skating and speedskating, gymnastics, rowing, rugby and biathlon. …

The headline legal case in soccer saw FIFA ban Russian teams from its global competitions, which removed the men’s national team from World Cup qualifying last month. …

ESPN

When Putin withdraws, those athletes should be quickly allowed to return.
