The Ukrainian athlete once again called for the removal of athletes from the aggressor countries.
Yaroslava Maguchikh supported sanctions against athletes from Russia and Belarus. The Ukrainian athlete reiterated this in American Eugene, where the World Championships in athletics will begin today.
Russian and Belarusian athletes were not allowed in this tournament – they were disqualified due to an outright war in Ukraine.
“I don’t want to see murderers in my sector. Today, February 24, everything changed.
Possible success? I hope this will be good news for the Ukrainian people, “Blick told Maguchy.
The athlete also commented on the complaints of her colleague from Russia, Maria Lasitskene, who expressed dissatisfaction with the elimination from the competition.
“He was suspended because he was Russian. Our people are dying just because they are Ukrainians,” Yaroslava said.
It will be recalled that just a year ago, at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Maguchih had a scandal due to the celebration of hitting the podium in Lasitskene. Then the Ukrainian took the copper, and the Russian took the gold.
