What is ROC and how is it produced?

ROC stands for the Russian Olympic Committee.

303 athletes from Russia will compete under the Olympic flag instead of representing Russia as a country.

Russia admitted to repeatedly violating the anti-doping regulations of the sport and was fined 7.9 million pounds. This news resulted in more than 100 Russian athletes being banned from participating in the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics.

The Russian Anti-Doping Agency did appeal to the Sports Arbitration Tribunal against the sanctions imposed by the World Anti-Doping Agency, prohibiting Russian teams from participating in or hosting international competitions within four years-the suspension time was shortened to two years, provided that they paid A fine of 3.5 million pounds was imposed. It will be fine by July 1st-they have successfully done it.

Therefore, the International Olympic Committee paved the way for Russian athletes to participate in the competition as authorized neutral athletes. Tokyo 2020.

Athletes who provide a negative drug test will compete under a neutral flag and may not parade under the Russian flag or wear Russian colors or emblems.

What equipment must the ROC athletes wear? Do they have a national anthem?

If the Republic of China wins any medals, the Olympic theme song will be played at the ceremony instead of the usual Russian national anthem.

However, this time they will be allowed to wear sportswear in the colors of the Russian flag, as long as the word “Russia” does not appear.

In 2018, Russian athletes had to wear gray sportswear to receive medals.

Anyone in the media must call them the “Russian Olympic Committee”-so please hurry up.

Was Russia previously banned from participating in the Olympics?

This will not be the first time Russian athletes compete under a neutral flag, as they did in the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.

At that time, they were called OAR-Olympic athletes from Russia.

However, after the International Olympic Committee decided not to use the word “Russia” in the name of the team, the name of the ROC was confirmed.

In 2018, the Paralympic Committee became more stringent, insisting that Russian athletes can only participate in the NPA, the neutral Paralympic athlete.

Although all Russian athletes were never completely banned, the Soviet Union did boycott the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984.

This is because the United States boycotted the 1980 Moscow Olympics due to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

What is EOR?

Not to be confused with the Russians, EOR is a highly acclaimed team of refugee Olympic athletes.

It is based on the acronym of the French name “Refugee Olympic Team”-“Equipe Olympique des Refugies”.

In 2016, ten men and women from embattled countries such as South Sudan and Syria participated in the Rio Olympics, and they will participate again this time.
