AustralianFan Posted March 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 right words in the speech but distracted from his own peace message by literally shouting parts of his speech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PikyoK Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 I felt Parson's anger and his opening was fatal. 'President of the Republic of China'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian2004 Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 I just joined in due to work appointments, but I read that Parsons gave a strong statement for peace? Well, that is a lot from someone who almost accepted Russian and Belarusian athletes at these Games despite all that has happened in their name in Ukraine.

It remains to be seen whether the ban on Russian and Belarusian athletes is legal. Catch is, of course, that the ban resulted from protests by the majority of individual athletes. The choice between an illegal ban or a Games without athletes is a no-brainer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
