Former world championship medalist Yolanda Chen commented on the tennis player’s remarks Daria Kasatkina concerning the change of sports citizenship.
Kasatkina earlier in an interview admitted to having a non-traditional sexual orientation and spoke out in favor of a change in sports citizenship.
– So far, the issue of changing sports citizenship should not be raised for our athletes, because it was only a tournament that was punished for its decision to withdraw Russian and Belarusian tennis players from participation . Also, tennis players who were unable to revolt because of such a decision did not receive ranking points. The rest of the tournaments of our tennis players are accepted and they do not need drastic measures. Yes, it’s easier for them than for other athletes, because they live in the West.
In sport, changing citizenship is normal. This is normal in our region. For me, there has never been such a question, but if it was, I would refuse. It’s probably easier for people who train and live abroad. I was brought up by the national team and the Russian team and that would be unacceptable for me. Considering the current situation, I am very afraid that the process of changing sports citizenship may begin,” Chen said on ‘s “There Is a Theme.”
