She Speaks Truth to Power and is not afraid of any consequences.
For that she deserves the Gold, Silver and Bronze.
"Defect" ehm…. Idk if you'd call it that
Brave young woman.
She says she is not into politics, but that is all she talked about!!! This was all planned, I think she is full of it!!
She wants to escape totalitarianism just now when the Western World embraces it.
All because of putin
The purple hair gives it away, she's a crazy leftist. A damn spoiled child that didn't want to listen to what her coach said, now she's going to be some outspoken critic of Belarus for the EU. A total sellout and a discrace to her family and fake grandmom. The Olympics is a joke, giving out medals for Quitting now, and who can be the biggest victim of social injustice.
This is an insult to people fleeing REAL oppression…. This is a joke …
Some things smell and not clear. She is playing GAME
knock knock …who is it?….Pizza delivery knock knock …who is it …… it's the KGB .C'mon guys can't blame young woman for trying to make her life better ,
She just want's to be happy and why not?
Victim Olympic golden medalist. Curious how much German tax payer money went to pay for her acting lessons. She pissed away sport for a political position and payoff. Zero integrity. Belarus can replace her with real athletes nota puppet.
Professions as like astronauts, doctors, nurses, athletes, artists, construction workers, and humanitarian assistants, just to name a few, ought to be citizens of the world. No matter where they go, they ought to be allowed to eke out a living for themselves and for the family/relatives that they may bring with them. Of course, I would not impede someone from identifying with their culture nor would I stop anyone from identifying with the country that they are from. What I am hoping for is for people to be free to escape from any tyranny that they may experience in their home countries. The world is large enough to accommodate people seeking shelter and safety away from harmful regimes.
Aren’t the Taiwanese people so oppressed they can’t even use the name “Taiwan” at the Olympics? Why is the Canadian media the only ones not really talking about it when you google it?
The girl who used the games to escape her country. The world just seems like a big movie made of different series that's full of plot twist.
Nothing would have been done to her. They would just get fired from the sports team for the scandal they caused. She decided to use the political environment to obtain refugee status and sit on a full welfare benefit in some European country with a high standard of living.
Because Russia….
Niiice , rats out her granny for torture techniques to be applied…… Seems like a whole lot of “New” Americans….. Assume Sleepy Joe and his toe job son , are chomping at the bit to SMELL THIS LADIES HAIR…… Or her childs…….
this is more and more like a cold war
It's ok to use cliches to escape system that it's build entirely on cliches.
She should stay in Japan. Very nice place. Wealthy place with a lot going on. It's a good start for a young lady like her. Don't come to America you might just get hit by a stray bullet. I mean if you just avoid the war zones in America and you will be OK.
Huh, I just read that in the past couple months or so, Belarus has been 'using migrants as a weapon,' by coaxing them into the EU. Is this them rejecting the migrant crisis? I don't know, but if Belarus is against the EU… it makes it a bit more difficult to view them in a negative light for me. Apparently they do not have freedom though, and have detained activists and journalists who speak out against Belarus, so yeah, this lady might have reason to be afraid to return, even though it sounds like she's not political. Liberty and freedom is necessary.
what the hell, she's talking about being against abuse and rape at 1:50 but the subtitles say "I wanted to be in the final and compete for medals". Talk about censorship..
Canadians should be brave like this young lady.
Don't come to Canada we are going the Left wing commie route as we speak.
Why do I have a bad feeling that she's headed this way
Sorry I missed the part of why she was in trouble with her country.. Anyone know?
Now she can have all the Japanese cheese cake she wants…mmmm so yum.
As someone from Eastern Europe I know the struggles she is facing if she would return in the socialist dictatorship. I so hope for freedom in Belarus and Ukraine.
People defect all the time. Why is this lady getting so much news coverage?
, There is a gofundme page set up for Belarusian sprinter Krystsina Tsimanouskaya. Please donate.
Her narrative comfortably fits what the west embraces. But I believe 50% or less of her words. Just because she is a young woman. That doesn’t make her innocent. Of course, the west also needs this perfect news material again the current Belarus regime.
there is some misunderstanding … why the world community is watching with closed eyes what the dictator Lukashenko is doing … he, using armed border guards, provokes a military conflict on the northern border of the republic of Belarus. but in general now is the time of the Olympiad, this violates the principle that the Olympiad is held in peacetime … if the world violates its principles of peace and harmony … this will lead to global conflicts … there is nothing sacred in this world, and this is humiliating for humanity.
We need help of democratic countries of the world. USA, Europe, UN help to us please! 🙏✝🤝😫😭💗
Lukashenka is a fascist. Lukashenka's grandfather by the name of Fencik was a member of Adolf Hitler's SS troops and wrote public articles like this: "Fascism is an advanced, modern phenomenon, fascism has replaced outdated communism…", etc. Lukashenka continues the work of his grandfather on an instinctive level. After Lukashenka came to power through falsifications and contract killings of his critics, he began to say that Adolf Hitler was a good man and his ways of governing the state should be adopted by Belarus. Lukashenka has publicly stated many times that Adolf Hitler is a good leader and he will take an example from him.
Lukashenka has always given orders to kidnap, torture and kill his critics. He first began to destroy high-ranking officials and ministers of Belarus at the turn of the 1990s-2000s, until 2010 he hunted all independent journalists who conduct independent investigations of his falsifications and contract killings, after 2010 he began to repress and destroy ordinary citizens of Belarus who publicly said something somewhere against his management methods or his shortcomings in state management. After the falsification of the presidential elections of Belarus in August 2020, Lukashenka has already begun to destroy everyone who wears the wrong color of clothes, hairstyles, or simply says or writes one word publicly against his power. Lukashenka is not the president of Belarus. He carried out a coup d'etat in Belarus and is kept in power only thanks to the power structures that he built following the example of the "death squadron" of Nazi Germany, falsifications in the legislation of Belarus and constant purges of officials and civil servants in his ranks. We can say with confidence that Lukashenka does everything that looks like fascism, the mafia, a gangster dictatorship. Lukashenka has violated all the rights and laws of the UN. Lukashenko is Gaddafi No. 2, Saddam Hussein No. 2, Ceausescu
Presidents son didn’t want to look like Incompetent fool he is, so they try to accuse her and discredit her. Evil country needs some cleaning up.
Stay strong brave young girl, my respects for standing against tyranny, I pray for you and your 👪
Global news no interpretation wow low even for you 😒
She is a typical lier and has too much ego.
