I feel sorry for the athletes. Why would they disband the committee?

Iraq doesn’t play well with others.

Lol But doesn’t their government? Maybe they don’t have money.

Tbh, it’s not like they would win any divisions anyways.

That’s mean. I mean yeah they don’t have the resources like other countries but it doesn’t mean they don’t have a chance.

I didn’t know they participated to begin with.

Who are usually the main winners of the olympics?

USA, Asia, Europe? haha
