The Polish representative fell after the blow. The judge showed a red card, then a blue one

In the first match of the championship, the Poles defeated Austria 36:31, and in the match against Belarus they could secure for themselves promotion to the best twelve in the European championship. For that to happen, the players had to win this game. And so it happened. The Polish team won 29:20.

Aliochin’s outrageous behavior. It was a boxing blow

There was an absurd situation in the first half of the game. Mikalaj Aliochin deliberately punched Michał Olejniczak in the face. – Ojjj, but here was a boxing blow! – shouted Iwona Niedźwiedź who was commenting on the meeting in Eurosport. – It looked as if Aliochin was still looking for contact with Olejniczak – added her friend Krzysztof Bandych.

It was as if the Belarusian had brought out the right straight. The Pole was lying on the dance floor for a while, while video verification was taking place. Moments later, Aliochina saw first a red and then a blue card for extremely unsportsmanlike conduct. The French referee in charge of this meeting had no doubts.

This means that the Belarusian will not play in the next match of his team against Austria. However, it may turn out that his break will take longer. It all depends on what the judges decide. The blue card rules indicate that a player who sees it must pause for at least one game. Exactly, however, it will be clear after the post-match report is published.
