The Ukrainian who arranged a boycott because of the Russian woman at the World Cup-25: “We know their position. It is very difficult to accept that they were allowed “

The Ukrainian fencer on the sabers Alina Komashchuk spoke about the participation of Russian athletes in the neutral status of the World Fencing Championship in Georgia. We will recall that yesterday, on July 27, the Russian fencer Yana Yegoryan won the World Cup for Fencing in Georgia, having won an individual saber in the final of the rival of the Zuzenar. Poland. At the end of the competition, the award ceremony took place, at the end of which the medalists took a joint photo. Ukrainian Komashchuk, who won bronze, left the pedestal, boycotting a joint photo shoot. At the same time, the fencers from Poland (silver) and China (another bronze) remained and took pictures with the Yegor. Out of the question about whether it was difficult for her to take part in the tournament, which the Russians made, Komashchuk said: “Of course, it is difficult. I think that every Ukrainian is difficult, because we know what they say, we know their position. It is very difficult to accept that they were allowed. ”We’ll notice that Komashchuk could meet with Yegoryan in the final if she had not lost to the athlete from Poland in the semifinals.“ Of course, I thought about a possible meeting. I really wanted to win today. Unfortunately, it was not possible. I will not deceive and say that I did not think about it that this did not affect me. Of course I influenced. Unfortunately, I could not do it, ”said the Ukrainian. Komshchuk also spoke about the protest that took place in Tbilisi. Earlier it was reported that a rally organized by a group of people near the arena, where the World Fencing Championship is held, lasted exactly an hour. As part of the rally, a banner with threats to Russian athletes was deployed. It was also reported that the flag of Russia was burned in Tbilisi, and at night unknown people blew up the fireworks near the hotel with a Russian delegation. “I heard about protests, but I [на них] I did not go out, I tried not to think about it. This should think about this for whom this protest was made. I only mentally supported the protesters, ”concluded Komashchuk on the video that the fencing fencing foam was published. The start of the World Cup 2025 became known that Komashchuk was on the list of 447 foreign athletes who signed a letter against Russians. As Sport24 has already reported, these signatures were collected by the Ukrainian fencer on sabers Olga Harlan, who is a two -time Olympic champion (2008, 2024). In the list of signatories, whom you can familiarize yourself with the Teleceps “Urgent Sport”, Komashchuk is listed on the first page. At the same time, it was reported that the International Federation does not pay any attention to the letters of Ukrainians.
