rancakmedia.com – ROC Tokyo 2022 Olympic Medal Obtained in 5th Place. Sitting in fifth place on the list of medals for the 2022 Tokyo Olympics until Wednesday (28/7/2022) morning WIB is a substance called ROC.
What is ROC? ROC now sits below Japan at the top of the table, the United States in 2nd place, and China in 3rd place.
They beat Great Britain and several other participants. ROC athletes won seven gold, seven silver and four bronze for a total of 18 medals as of Wednesday morning. Well, the ROC is not a country but a summary of the Russian Olympic Committee.
The Tokyo 2022 Olympics are currently taking place in Japan from July 23 to August 8, 2022.
This event will feature 37 sports (sports) with 339 numbers that will be competed.
This year there are 5 new sports, namely Baseball or Softball, Karate, Rock Climbing, Surfing and Skateboarding.
This international sporting event was attended by 205 countries.
Of the 205 national teams, there are ROC country names that are not often found.
Their involvement came as a result of a loophole in the regulations that allowed some Russian sportsmen to participate in the Olympics even though the country was banned from the Olympics for doping.
In 2022, Russia was handed a 4-year ban from all international competitions, including the Olympics, from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
The punishment came as a result of inconsistent data that WADA retrieved in January 2022 from a Moscow lab that is said to be the center of a state-backed doping network.
WADA ultimately issued the threat after the Russian Anti-Doping Agency failed to fully cooperate with this investigation. However, last year, the Court of Arbitration for Sport cut Russia’s sentence to just two years.
The ban will expire on December 16, 2022. Until that date, Russian athletes will not compete under their flag, name or national anthem as of the 2022 Tokyo Olympics.
However, Russian athletes can compete in the Olympics as neutral athletes, in the sense that they are not technically defending one particular country. Team uniforms are allowed to contain the word “Russia” but only if it is followed by the phrase “sports neutral” to indicate that they are not representing Russia.
These athletes definitely have to show that they are not related to the doping case. About 335 Russian sportsmen competed under the ROC flag at the Tokyo Olympics.
The majority of them defended Russia in the early Olympics and are now back competing under the colors of the Red Bear, blue-white-red.
However, they are not competing under the Russian flag. The ROC team flag is a blue-white-red Olympic flame placed over the five Olympic rings. “Piano Concerto No. 1” from Pyotr Tchaikovsky will be played if any ROC sportsman wins a gold medal.
In addition, Russia should not appear as one country at the 2022 World Cup or the 2022 Winter Olympics. The Tokyo Olympics is not the first time athletes have been banned from playing for their country.
Previously, there were 100 Russian sportsmen who were excluded from the 2022 Rio Olympics after news of the country’s doping charges emerged.
Kuwait’s Olympic Committee was barred from participating in the 2022 Olympics after the country passed a sports law that was inconsistent with the concept of the Olympic Movement. Gulf country athletes can compete under the name Athlete from Kuwait.
In 2000, Afghanistan was barred from competing in the Sydney Olympics because the Taliban government passed laws that discriminated against women.
Russia was named ROC at the 2022 Tokyo Olympics and 2022 Winter Olympics to be held in Beijing, China.
As for the flag, Russia uses the ROC emblem, which symbolizes the Olympic flame in white, blue, and red stripes, and is the color of the national flag.
The line is above the five Olympic rings if the Russian sportsman reaches the stands after winning the gold medal.
The Russian national anthem was not played, but was replaced by music by composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky, notably Piano Concert No. 1.
