摘要:
I learned that by asking International Olympic Committee spokesman Mark Adams these two questions:
1. Does Rule 41 (1) supersede any international federation rule?
2. Under all circumstances, must an Olympic athlete be a citizen of the country he or she wants to represent?
"Rule 41 is pretty straightforward," Adams replied Tuesday by email. "An athlete must be a citizen of the country he or she wishes to represent.
"Further, the rule goes on to explain how a competitor may go on to represent a `new' country if they change nationality or how they may represent a country if they have dual nationality, underlying the basic fact that one must be a national of the country they represent."
