“The only thing I can offer to the head of the IOC: Thomas, go to Ukraine, to Kyiv, Nikolaev, Kharkov. Or, maybe, let’s hold the next IOC congress in Mariupol? It’s a pity that we can’t invite athletes. on this holiday, holiday, where, as you said, “Olympics is able to unite the whole world”, our dead Sports Angels, our children who are no longer alive, Ekaterina Dyachenko…” he wrote.
At the same time, Anna Rizatdinova added that before allowing the athletes of the aggressor country to compete, it should be known what the coaches and sports leaders of the Russian Federation think about it.

But with the letter Z next to him are athletes in Olympic uniforms!”, the gymnast summed up.
