Russian Speedskater Flips Double Bird After Beating U.S. And Makes Iffy Excuse

"Olympic speedskater Daniil Aldoshkin flashed a double bird after his Russian team beat the United States in the team pursuit semifinals on Tuesday ― but he seemed to claim that he flipped off no one in particular."
The gesture added more tension to a Games now dominated by the doping scandal involving star Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva.
Russia’s Olympic team was sanctioned for systemic drug offenses at the Sochi 2014 Games and is known as the Russian Olympic Committee in Beijing.
So, maybe Aldoshkin was merely exhibiting defiance to the world, or declaring he and his teammates were No. 1 — twice?"
Apparently Norway beat them in the final... so only a Silver metal for his double bird... I think PM Trudeau deserves the Gold for un-sprtsman like conduct during the Olympics!!!Last edited by TOM4CWB; Feb 17, 2022, 08:22.Comment
