MOSCOW, March 22 Four-time Olympic biathlon champion Belarusian Darya Domracheva in social networks criticized the athletes who supported the removal of Russian and Belarusian athletes from international competitions.
& # 34; him all his life. Many human destinies are destroyed during the war, but why do we seek to destroy even more destinies of those who are not guilty in today's situation? I consider it absolutely naive to believe that the removal of Belarusian and Russian athletes from international competitions will help resolve the military conflict. In my opinion, such measures only contribute to inciting discord among people", wrote Domracheva.
«Before talking about the global, let's start with ourselves, with our human qualities and our environment. We, people from sports, «Let's start with sport. Sport has every chance to bring peace, unite, not divide, be fair and honest. I urge you to use this chance. I would like to see punishments, suspensions, disciplinary measures for specific violations of specific people. It is sad to read the comments of athletes, supporters of such measures, athletes who shook hands, patted on the back, congratulated each other when they hit the podium, discussed the difficult moments of the race, competed shoulder to shoulder, and today only kicks a colleague in the back to throw him out of the fight.Let's start with ourselves , perhaps, the world around will then become better,» the Olympic champion added.
