Leadership lesson # 7: Look at how the Russians list their competitors... "Olympic Athlete From Russia" vs. "Canada" for other countries. That is some interesting leadership: Before the event occurs, meet with media outlets, visualize HOW the information will look when displayed to the MILLIONS of viewers.. structure the content. Interesting... or did you all not catch that?

Uh, that's because Russia was banned from the 2018 games due to systematic doping and institutionalized cheating on doping tests in prior Olympics, but athletes from Russia were permitted to compete under the Olympic flag.

That wasn't a Russian presentation decision based on visualization and consultation with media outlets.
