The 2018 Winter Olympics are a day away. Over 100 countries' teams will compete, but Russia won't be one of them. The country was banned from this year's games due to a doping scandal.

They will walk in the opening ceremonies in attire devoid of any mentions of Russia, and to the tune of the Olympic Hymn.
