WDF World Championship 2022 at Lakeside

[Bomber]

Hmm. If they bin the Russians off surely that means they would have to bin Ana off as well, cant see them wanting to do that very quickly.

up to her, she could call herself martin and say she is from cheshire

can't be having any russkies involved in any sport for a while

[Ginge]

I have never seen her nationality recorded as "British"/"English" on anything relating to darts tbh.

All Russian have to go or none.

Zenit are playing in Spain tonight btw.

[devosteve]

Serbia were thrown out of the Euros due to war.

But are/were individual players banned? Or just teams playing under their national name?

[Ginge]

Surely they would have to discuss suspending the Russian national organisation, which in turn would prohibit its players playing in events.

Lets be honest, if things have got worse by the start of April, its not a good look to have Russians involved in this.

[ChrisW]

Uk Open will set the precedent no doubt.

[Ginge]

Had to check the list there. Yup, Boris Koltsov. He needs to be binned imo.

[greatkingrat]

I don't see any reason why individual players who happen to have Russian nationality can't continue playing as normal. It would only be team competitions that might be affected. Although it is possible some may decide to withdraw voluntarily due to travel difficulties etc.

[Ginge]

Would get to a point soon where countries block entry to Russian nationals I suppose.

[Rout]

Don't take any action. You don't want to "poke the bear with a stick"

[Case]

No, it all looks accurate enough now.

I am sure someone will find something I did to cry about, in a way of deflecting from laughing at the WDF

People of a certain age seem stupid when using smileys. Prove me wrong.

[Ginge]

Would get to a point soon where countries block entry to Russian nationals I suppose.

Aeroflot just banned, assume other countries will follow suit and other airlines will stop flying there. Aye could be tricky for the Ruskies (bar Ana) to get here I guess by early April.

That's because you are a bit thick.

Coming soon to a dream near you.

[devosteve]

When Yugoslavia (not Serbia I think) were banned from the Euros were the individual footballers, tennis players also banned?

I don't know. But I am not sure all russian football players, tennis players etc will be banned as individuals.

So I don't think Russians will be banned from darts

[devosteve]

Oh, and the Eurovision song contest organisers have said no ban for Russia!

[Rout]

Don't panic everyone, we've issued sanctions and turned Downing Street yellow and blue! That'll show em!

[Rout]

Yeah!

[Si Robin]

At the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, Yugoslav competitors weren't able to compete under their national flag. They had to compete as International Olympic Participants.

Their flag was the Olympic rings.
