#1 I wonder if this release has anything to do with Russia's declared intention to bomb terrorists wherever they hide.

Any thoughts on what kind of pressure the Russians would have applied to get their guys out?

#3 Not sure what *other* pressure Russia may have also applied since, but its first move had been to grab and imprison two random Qatari athletes that had happened to be passing through Russia.

#6 Aris: Didn't know that. Were they actual Qatari athletes? Or Bulgarian weightlifters carrying Qatari passports?

#8 Aris, you need to stop googling Qatari wrestlers and get your graduation photos posted. We're all waiting.
