On a tough day for Olga Kharlan and for the world of sport in general, he obviously remained alongside his partner Luigi Sameleblue fencer, Olympic silver medalist in the saber at Tokyo 2020.
We remember that ukraine was disqualified for not shaking hands with her opponent, the Russian Anna Smirnova, at the end of a winning bout at the World Championships in Milan.
The blue relied on social media to comment on the incident: “I grew up with secret dreams. Over the years I have realized that we do not live in a world of fairy tales. In my career I have seen and understood many things that I never, ever wanted to see and understand. Today, for the first time, I am ashamed to be part of this system. A system where arrogance wins over honesty, a system where the rules are made by a few and for a few, a system where whoever can help you is waiting for nothing but your failure”.
It’s still: “I tried it today, not on my skin, but on the skin of those dear to me. On the skin of those who, for the love of this sport, risked everything and were betrayed. In the silence! Most deafening silence I’ve ever heard. I am proud that I have always fought for my ideals. I will continue to do it. And I’m proud of you! She walks with her head held high. Better a lion day”
