Russian tennis player Elena Vesnina on Instagram talked about how thieves returned her stolen Olympic medals.
“The criminals planted medals. And how … Late in the evening, a courier brought and left on guard a bouquet of flowers with a box of chocolates, which contained both my medals and the ring of the Olympic champions. Romantics from the high road, ”the athlete described the incident. Vesnina added that law enforcement officers immediately took the awards for biological examination, so she did not see them for about two weeks.
The theft became known on September 12. According to Vesnina, the criminals broke into the front door, opened the safe and stole the gold and silver Olympic medals, as well as jewelry. Later, the attackers planted awards along with a box of chocolates at the checkpoint of the elite village of the Moscow Region, where Vesnina lives. In addition, the thieves left a note of apology.
Vesnina won the 2016 Olympics in doubles with Ekaterina Makarova. At the Tokyo Olympics, the Russian woman, along with Aslan Karatsev, lost to compatriots Andrei Rublev and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the mixed finals.
