The 2018 Winter Olympics are a day away. Over 100 countries' teams will compete, but Russia won't be one of them. The country was banned from this year's games due to a doping scandal. However, individual Russian athletes will still be able to compete. James Yoder, Founder and CEO of Chat Sports, explains how. So far, more than 150 athletes will compete as "Olympic Athletes From Russia." They will walk in the opening ceremonies in attire devoid of any mentions of Russia, and to the tune of the Olympic Hymn.
