A Ukrainian biathlete sent an athlete in the direction of a Russian warship.
Ukrainian biathlete Dmitry Pidruchny responded to an interview with Simon Fourcade in the Russian media, in which the Frenchman condemned the exclusion of Russian and Belarusian biathletes from international competitions.
“I could not write here for a long time, but yesterday's interview of Simon Fourcade to Russian journalists outraged me. So I decided to take the time to express my opinion on the role of sport in politics and war. First, Martin and Simon Fourcade, go to ** I hope your children will never feel the pain that Ukrainian children have faced, children who have left their homes, heard the sounds of explosions, seen their mothers being raped and their relatives killed.
I am sorry that I voted for Martin in the NOC commission, and that such great athletes turned out to be shitty people. How can it be said that sport is out of politics, when there were many athletes with the letter Z on their clothes at a concert in support of the war in Moscow? Are they so innocent and suffering because of the government? “Pidruchny said.
We will remind, on February 24 the president of the Russian Federation Putin made the urgent statement on carrying out special military operation in the territory of Ukraine, having begun large-scale invasion of the Ukrainian cities.
After that, Russian sports began to plunge into complete isolation. There are almost no federations left that have not excluded Russians from their competitions.
