Athletistic/ Others. At the end of July, an incident occurred during the world fencing championships in Milan. Ukrainian saber Olga Kharlan refused to shake hands with Russian Anna Smirnova. Subsequently, she was disqualified, but after some time the disqualification was reversed. Russian chess player Ian Nepomniachtchi spoke about it.
I don’t think there was any malicious intent. We must enter into each person’s situation. From his point of view, as from the point of view of his compatriots, Harlan did the right thing. And the Russians, I think, have a different opinion. I didn’t go into details, but a suspension of several months is probably too much. I don’t think too severe sanctions should be applied,” RIA Novosti quotes Nepomniachtchi as saying.
