Russian military spies were reportedly behind a cyber attack during the opening ceremony for the 2018 Winter Olympics.

The International Olympic Committee has voted unanimously against lifting the ban on Russia from the Pyeongchang Winter Games.

Therefore, Russian athletes were not be allowed to march under their country’s flag for the Closing Ceremony. It remained suspended from Olympic competition for the Closing Ceremony, the International Olympic Committee ruled, following two recent doping violations by Russian athletes at the Games there.

Ironic that the Soviet Union won Olympic Gold...The Unified Team won Olympic Gold...and O A R has now won Olympic Gold... But never Russia. Its athletes were nyet allowed to march in the Olympic closing ceremony with their national colors or flag. The decision came after yet another two failed drug tests by its Russian athletes.
