On February 26, Beijing time, the gymnastics World Cup cottbus station men's free gymnastics final, Belarusian star Sharamku successfully won the championship. However, judging from the official footage and report card, the flag of Belarus has been hidden. Just a day ago, the International Olympic Committee announced that it would urge the non-flying of the Russian or Belarusian flag and the non-playing of the Russian or Belarusian national anthem at international sporting events, and called for the cancellation of the event in Russia and Belarus.
On 25 February, the IOC Executive Committee issued a voice urging that the Russian or Belarusian flag should not be hoisted and the Russian or Belarusian national anthem should not be played at international sporting events.
In just one day, at the Gymnastics World Cup in Cottbus on February 26, we saw the IOC move. In the men's free gymnastics final, Belarusian star Sharamku won the championship by beating Croatia and Italy with 13.933 points. The flag of Belarus could not be seen on the post-match broadcast and on the transcripts on the official website. Obviously, this was deliberately hidden.
Belarusian star Sharamku was born in 1999 and his previous best results were the silver medal in vaulting at the Universiade, as well as the silver medal in vaulting at the European Championships and the bronze medal in free gymnastics. This time he was successful in the World Cup, not to mention the Belarusian national anthem, Sharamku not only can not see the Flag of Belarus, but he is not even a "Belarusian athlete", a cold "BLR", is all the information he represents the team.
Athletes from other countries all have flags, including the fourth athlete from Ukraine. From this point of view, the IOC is not lip service, and all subsequent events may be handled in this way.
