The other athletes should stand by the Ukrainian fencer and refuse to continue in the tournament until she is reinstated! Russian athletes shouldn't be allowed to participate in the first place. >:(

[Russian fencer and human trash Anna] Smirnova lodged a protest against Harlan for not showing "respect" and stayed on the track for more than 50 minutes after the match.

Fuck this horror of a human being. I hope the reality of her empire's brutal war comes to her or her family.

Why did Italy even allow her to enter the country?

@lusterko The Ukrainian fencer wears the DQ as a badge of honor. Fuck the Russian - they shouldn't be allowed to participate.
