Athletistic/ Others. Recently, Russian athletes have been massively suspended from international competitions due to the current political situation. This was voiced by Olympic high jump champion Maria Lasitskene.
– Now is not the time to talk about grievances. Unfortunately lately I have been punished more than once for being born in Russia. I understand what is happening and I understand what to do in order not to lose shape. And I do, I try.
We do not despair, but it is very difficult. I have never had such a state. How much patience is enough? Athletes must always fight to the end. And I will fight until the end,” Lasitskene was quoted as saying by TASS.
