https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1684815959477850112 Olga Kharlan, a four-time Olympic fencing medalist, was disqualified from the World Fencing Championships in Milan on Thursday after refusing to shake hands with her Russian opponent. After Ms. Kharlan defeated Anna Smirnova, a Russian competitor who had joined the competition with a neutral status, Ms. Smirnova extended her hand to Ms. Kharlan, who extended her saber instead. According to the sport’s rules, a fencing bout does not end until the two fencers have saluted each other and shaken hands, and the referee can penalize those who do not comply. The Ukrainian Fencing Federation said on Thursday that Ms. Kharlan had “convincingly” won and would appeal the disqualification. Several Ukrainian political officials condemned the disqualification, tying it directly to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. “Anna Smirnova lost the fair competition and decided to play dirty with the handshake show,” Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine’s foreign minister, said on Twitter, adding that Ms. Smirnova’s conduct was exactly how the “Russian army acts on the battlefield.” Ruslan Stefanchuk, the Ukrainian Speaker of Parliament, praised Ms. Kharlan on the Telegram messaging app, writing that not shaking hands “is a sophisticated form of just ignoring terrorists with no name, no honour, no flag under which they compete.” Ms. Kharlan, 32, is among the world’s top fencers, having won a gold medal in the team saber competition at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Since then, she also has two bronze medals and a silver in Olympic competition. Russia and Belarus were not invited by the International Olympic Committee to compete as nations in next year’s Summer Olympics in Paris. But it is possible that fencers from both countries will be able to participate as neutral athletes, without their national flags or anthems, so long as they meet certain requirements, such as not having shown public support for the invasion. With war as a backdrop, drama in the sport has been playing out in the United States and elsewhere this summer. Three fencers who left Russia and denounced the invasion competed as neutral athletes at the United States summer championships earlier this month in Phoenix. This departure was so embarrassing to the Russians that it led to the firing of the country’s top épée coach. On Wednesday, Igor Reizlin, a Ukrainian fencer, withdrew from his competition against a Russian opponent at the world championships in Milan. One former top Russian fencer expressed his sympathy for Ms. Kharlan on Thursday. Konstantin Lokhanov, who participated for Russia in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and now lives in San Diego, said in an interview that he thought the disqualification of Ms. Kharlan might have been a trap set by her Russian opponent. Unless overturned, the disqualification in the individual saber competition also could prevent Ms. Kharlan from competing in the team fencing competition at the world championships. On the one hand, the International Fencing Federation had little choice but to adhere to its rules about shaking hands, said Mr. Lokhanov, who is the former husband of a Russian Olympic fencing champion and the former son-in-law of the president of the Russian Olympic Committee. On the other hand, Mr. Lokhanov said, the tapping of blades was the accepted acknowledgment of an opponent during the pandemic and is still considered suitable by many fencers. “I support Olga,” he said. “In my opinion she made the right decision. I understand why she made it. But I don’t see any reason why this Russian woman had to make that drama. She could have just touched blades; the bout was over.” comedyblissoption has issued a correction as of 03:23 on Jul 29, 2023 |

Officer Sandvich posted:The general question of who is winning is Ukraine. They are extremely unlikely to lose self governance and become a client state of Russia. They have had major victories at Kyiv, Kherson, and Kharkiv. That said, the war is still being inflicted and fought on their country, to great loss of lives and resources. Cities are being leveled and Russia is stealing everything it can. Grain, oil, washing machines, children. Thank you. It's always good to find a fellow staunch pro-Ukrainian perspective in this pit of hiveminded tankieism (Al-Saqr excepted). I hope you will vouch for my bonafides as a non-tankie when I share good news for Ukraine with GiP.

The funniest scenario would be if Smirnova's reasoning was "her homeland is going through so much, and yet she has the courage and dedication to perform. Covid be damned, she deserves the full ritual" And then Kharlan DQed herself in the pettiest display possible. Smirnova is already playing without any symbols of her nation, without representing her nation, and as the article notes without any history of supporting the invasion. Just having Russian blood. Hitler particles man

DancingShade posted:Ukriane may as well act like a crying child while they can. After all we don't know how many more olympic anythings there will be before their athletes will have to compete under a new flag. The whining and bitching and the harassment of Russian athletes is truly pathetic and it's a reflection of how chicken poo poo many of these sporting authorities are that they allow this to completely overrun their events. I don't know if it's ever going to stop either because if these organizations are so cowardly that they allow these external politically motivated people power over their events how are they ever going to pull that power back? they tried to pull this act with the NHL.. crying out how Russian players should be suspended, not allowed to cross the border into Canada, the fans should protest the games.. there was a couple days where nobody was quite sure how the league was going to handle it, and then the strategy of just ignoring the freaks worked and they shut the hell up when they realized that nobody (fans, other players, advertisers, etc) gave a poo poo about Russian players competing in a NA professional sports league. And this was probably the one instance of a professional sports league operating outside of Russia where many of the most prominent players in the league are Russian and some of those very prominent players have had questionable histories of lending their celebrity to Putin and actively campaigning for the guy.

So yeah, worse than hitler (in a sports organisation).
