What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Evgenia Medvedeva Evgenia ? Russian figure skater  Evgenia Medvedeva  told the IOC on Tuesday that its ban on Russian athletes for the 2018 Olympics was unfair.
 Medvedeva  a gold-medal favorite for 2018   said the punishment affects athletes who were not involved in a state-backed doping scheme.
 Medvedeva  also argued that  she  could not "accept" competing under a neutral flag if given the option.
Russian figure skater  Evgenia Medvedeva  pleaded with the International Olympic Committee Executive Board on Tuesday to reconsider its ban of Russia at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang  South Korea.
"In 2014  I was 14 years old  " Medvedeva  said  via Ice Network. "I have not even entered the adult national team of my country.
 Medvedeva  also said that  she  can't "accept" competing for a neutral flag. The IOC on Tuesday said some qualifying Russian athletes who have passed several drug tests will be allowed to compete at the IOC's discretion  but they will do so in neutral uniforms.
"I can not accept the option that I would compete in the Olympic Games without the Russian flag as a neutral athlete  " Medvedeva  said. "I am proud of my country  it is a great honor for me to represent it at the Games. It gives strength and inspires me during the performances."
"Everyone has dreams  and you probably already had a chance to fulfill your own. Let me do the same!"  Medvedeva  said. "I do not know if there will be other Games in my sports life after Pyeongchang."

What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Michael Flynn ? At some point before President Trumpâs inauguration  disgraced national security adviser Michael Flynn assured an ex-business partner that economic sanctions on Russia would be âripped upâ as soon as the new administration entered the White House  according to documents made public Wednesday.
 Flynn  made the promise to Alex Copson  a managing partner of a Russia-connected energy company  a whistleblower told Rep. Elijah Cummings this summer.
Trump calls  Flynn  guilty plea âa shame â blames FBI  Hillary
The unnamed whistleblowerâs claims pose the strongest evidence yet that the nascent Trump White House was looking to rescind sanctions against Russia and also suggests that  Flynn  could have had a personal financial stake in the matter.
 Flynn   who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI last week  worked together with Copsonâs company  ACU Strategic Partners  until June 2016. Their work together involved a deal with the Russian government to build nuclear power plants in the Middle East.
Copson apparently told the whistleblower during an Inauguration Day event in Washington  D.C. that  Flynn  had just texted him that the power plant venture was âgood to go.â

 Flynn âs lawyer did not immediately return a request for comment from the Daily News.
 Flynn  was fired less than a month into  his  tenure as national security adviser after it became clear that  he  had lied to Vice President Mike Pence about  his  contacts with a Russian diplomat. On Friday   Flynn  became the first current or former Trump administration official to agree to cooperate with special prosecutor Robert Muellerâs investigators.
âThese grave allegations compel a full  credible and bipartisan congressional investigation â Cummings wrote  adding that  Flynn  appears to have "sought to manipulate the course of international nuclear policy for the financial gain of  his  former business partners."

What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Putin ? Russian President Vladimir Putin has a "bad" untold secret about Donald Trump that will eventually come out  Joe Scarborough said on Friday.
" Vladimir Putin  has something on Donald Trump " Scarborough charged Friday on  his  "Morning Joe" show on MSNBC.
"Let me say it again  because thereâs been a lot of noise from Donald Trump over the past year since heâs been president.  Vladimir Putin  has something that  he  is holding over Donald Trumpâs head. And it is bad."
"So what is Donald Trump hoping? He is not hoping he can just brush aside a story of a porn star. Heâs hoping when the truth comes out about what  Vladimir Putin  has and has had hanging over  his  head for decades  possibly  that we will all be too numb to notice " Scarborough said.
"Ten tweets a day  five lies a day  bread and circuses  all of these game show  reality show distractions ... Thatâs all  he âs hoping.  He  wants to numb the American people.  He  wants to numb the electorate.  He  wants to numb everybody."
Scarborough did not elaborate on what information  Putin  may have about Trump.
The commander in chief has been criticized for what one Democrat called his "bromance" with  Putin . And in November  Sen. John McCain slammed Trumpâs comments that he sincerely believed  Putin  meant it when  he  said  he  didnât meddle in the 2016 presidential election.
