by

Perpendicular to the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes in the Olympic Games was the Ukrainian tennis player, Elina Svitolina, because of the invasion of her country.

Last week, the International Olympic Committee gave the “green light” for to take part as neutrals, with Svitolina being categorical, via a post on Social Media.

In detail what he wrote:

“The Olympic Games are the biggest dream and the ultimate privilege for athletes. It is the largest platform for inclusion and diversity in sports, capturing the world’s attention

With this in mind, we must insist on banning Russian and Belarusian athletes. To show that we are united in the sanctions imposed on Russia and Belarus and that there are consequences for the heinous acts of their governments. Their lives cannot go on as normal and the world, nor the Russian and Belarusian people, can ignore the atrocities they are committing in Ukraine.”
