All of the rest of the countries should threaten to walk, and actually follow through if they let them participate.

You either get an olympics with every country but Russia and Belarus or you get one with only Russia and Belarus.

What are the negatives of having those athletes compete without a flag or national recognition? I truly don't see how this option could ruin the Olympics.

It's the same thing in tennis where some of the best players in ATP or WTA are from Russia/Belarus but I'd rather see them compete with no country beside their name than not compete at all.
