Tennis player Dyachenko said she indicated her nationality when buying LOT tickets
Russian tennis player Vitalia Dyachenko told the details of the removal from the flight of the Polish airline LOT. It is reported by “Match TV”.
According to the athlete, she indicated her nationality when buying tickets, but she was not warned about the ban on flying. “They gave me my passport so easily and said: “Step back, next one.” I asked why. And they answered me: “Because she is Russian.” So much in the face of this nationalism and racism,” said Dyachenko.
On April 24, it became known that LOT employees did not let Dyachenko on a flight from Cairo to Warsaw, citing airline rules. The athlete said that she had to stay at the Egyptian airport for 18 hours. Because of this, she missed the competition in Nice, where she planned to get with a transfer in Poland.
32-year-old Dyachenko is ranked 250th in the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) ranking. She has one title in the tournaments of the organization in doubles.
