According to a report from LetsRun.com, only four of the 18 Ethiopian U20 athletes had their U.S. visa applications accepted
For the last four decades, Ethiopia has won a medal at every World XC Championships. It’s an unbelievable 44-year streak built on dominance and talent. But the streak is now in jeopardy. On Tuesday, it was reported that more than a dozen Ethiopian athletes were denied travel visas to the U.S. ahead of this weekend’s World XC Championships in Tallahassee, Fla.

FIFA already bribed Trump with their peace prize. He's stupid enough to fall for the transparent flattery and let the World Cup happen without problems.

Lol, do you think the racists he's enabling at all levels of government are a tap he can turn on and off? They are driving out the same people and forcing racist policies on those that don't agree. Look at what's happening to trans people. Their documents are being rescinded or they can no longer get them.

The event was yesterday. Ethiopia placed second in medals and US managed to steal a bronze medal because there were no Ethiopians in men’s U20.

I hope everyone boycotts the 2028 Olympics. It will be just the Fascist States of America, the Saudis, Turkey, and Russia.

I do not know that the FSA will still have anything left to them by that time.

They'll cheat some random sporting tournament, but they played the 2024 election "fair & square?" Right.

Let's see how many other countries boycott.

The top Americans should boycott, too, if they have any respect for the sport and themselves. We’ll see.
