Kristina Timanskaya’s Belarusian athlete in Poland said that the decision of the coaches to criticize it in social networks to designate it on the 400 meters relay could be not the smartest step.
“Perhaps criticize the leadership (coaches) in Instagram in such an emotional state was not the smartest step. But my disqualification, forced departure, deposit on public television – what is all this?” – Aparted athlete in an interview with the German newspaper Zeit, reports RIA Novosti.
Timanovskaya recognized that the public criticism of the international scandal could be avoided.
Christina Timanovskaya was supposed to perform at the Tokyo Olympics in Run at 100 and 200 meters. But after the two Belarusian athletes removed from participation in the relay of 4×400 meters due to the lack of the required number of doping samples, coaches decided to use Timanovskaya in this race. Runner in social networks has criticized such a decision. She stated that the leadership is trying to fix their poor-quality work at the expense of athletes. After that, the Olympic Committee of Belarus reported that Timanovskaya ceases to participate in games “on the conclusion of doctors, due to the emotional and psychological state.” The athlete itself stated the media that he intends to ask for refuge in Europe, appealed to the International Olympic Committee to help her.
