President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Thomas Bach wants ‘clean’ Russian athletes to compete under a neutral flag at the 2018 PyeonChang Winter Olympic Games he said at a press conference in Lausanne on Wednesday. On Tuesday, the IOC banned Russia from competing at the 2018 Winter Olympics, following an investigation into allegations of state-sponsored doping at Sochi in 2014. The Russian Olympic Committee denies the allegations.
Figure Skating Trainer Tatyana Tarasova was visibly distressed as she reacted to the IOC's decision to ban the Russian team from the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Moscow on Tuesday. The International Olympic Committee has found Russia guilty of state-sponsored doping and has banned the Russian Olympic Committee from competing. Clean athletes will be allowed to compete in the upcoming 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, although not under the Russian flag.
Russian winter athletes, including skeleton racer Olga Potylitsina, European skeleton champion Elena Nikitina, Skeleton racer Alexsandr Tretyakov, and cross-country skier Alexei Petukohv reacted to the news. On Tuesday, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced in a press conference in Lausanne it would ban Russia from participating at the next Winter Olympics 2018, allowing clean Russian athletes to compete under a neutral flag.
An autonomous 'nuclear battery' displayed at the 2017 Atomexpo exhibition in Moscow on Tuesday can provide power for a period of around 50 years. Developed by the Lutch Research Institute which is affiliated with Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom, the battery may revolutionize the stored energy market and even the very concept of batteries. The Rosatom nuclear battery, whic is based on the isotope of nickel-63, is set to undergo several years of testing.
Do you have what it takes to survive in the unforgiving climate of deep Siberia only using the tools on your back? Can you find food in a forest in the dead of winter, eating bugs and bark if you need to, while fending off attacks from wild animals? Are you willing to do put on a bodycam and do whatever it takes to beat out your competitors for the ultimate prize of $1.6 million? Then let the games begin! Dozens of contestants will compete in a harsh struggle for cold hard cash deep in the Siberian wilderness – welcome to the real-life Russian Hunger Games! This summer, the reality-TV show ‘Games 2: Winter’ will hit screens in Russia, with millions of spectators set to follow 30 brave participants in a no-holds-barred survival contest staged in the Siberian wilderness as over 2,000 cameras will follow the contestants and live broadcast their every move 24/7. Contestants paid $150,000 to participate in the show and signed waivers exonerating the organizers from responsibility in case of rape or even murder. They passed a mental and physical exam and will be dropped off in the bear-infested taiga forest in July 2017 to fend for themselves until next spring. The only way that participants will be able to escape the forest is by hitting a panic button, which will call a helicopter to their rescue. However, by doing so, they immediately forfeit their chance to win. We hope that the contestants have a safe and exciting Games and wish that the odds will be ever in their favor.
