And yes I understand the situation in Ukraine is far more important in the grand scheme things. But yes if GB did threaten to pull out, perhaps that would change the minds of the IPC.The statement from Nadine Dories to me reads like a precursor to a withdrawal.
I don’t think it will change the minds of the IPC as they said yesterday they accept teams could withdraw but their hands are tied legally. They have also gone into lengthy details about changes they will make post games to give them the legal power to do so in the future.
