For the second Olympics in a row — but not the last — Russian athletes are not competing under the name or flag of their home country and their national anthem does not play at medal ceremonies.

Instead, because of an anti-doping penalty partially upheld by the international Court of Arbitration for Sport last year, the Russians are competing for the “Russian Olympic Committee.”

The acronym, ROC, has appeared often on the scoreboard and on TV screens during the Tokyo Games.
