“Szumowino, are you still alive?” Another Russian athlete is hiding himself in shame

That he found a hateful message in his Instagram mailbox from Dania³ Kuleszow – without much success, whose Instagram account is currently private. “Szumovina, are you still alive? I hope that the missiles will soon fall on your house” – wrote Kuleszow in a private message to Geraskiewicz.

“Sport is almost always synonymous with solidarity. But not this time.”

. Geraskiewicz posted his message in a report on Instagram. These are usually available to the public and disappear from the site after 24 hours. And this one has also disappeared. But although she is no longer there, the Portuguese daily Record is now reporting the case.

“Sport is almost always a synonym of solidarity and gives an example when politics does not give such an example. But not this time”, writes “Record”, who kept a screenshot and a message from Kuleszow to Gerskiewicz, i.e. to the 23-year-old represented on recently completed.

“We are Ukraine! There are many of us and we will not be defeated”

“No war in Ukraine” – this is a card in the colors of Ukraine, which Geraskiewicz showed to the cameras after his Olympic run. – I want peace in my country and peace in the world. That’s my opinion. I am fighting for peace. He’s really nervous in Ukraine right now. This should not be the case in the 21st century, Geraskiewicz later explained his gesture.

It was dealt with immediately by the IOC, which warns athletes against political demonstrations before each Olympic Games. “It was a general call to peace. For us, the topic is closed,” Geraskiewicz wrote in the testimony about the gesture.

Geraskiewicz – as his report on Instagram shows – is still in Ukraine and defends his homeland. “We are soldiers ready to die. We are doctors who save lives. We are volunteers who, despite the danger and fear, help others. We are journalists who, when bombed, bring up-to-date information to Ukrainians We are diplomats and representatives of all kinds of industries who stay awake all day and fight on all fronts, tightening sanctions and calling on Russians and Belarusians to take to the streets fight for peace. We are Ukraine! There are many of us and we will not be defeated. We have already proved to the whole world that we are a strong state that will never lose the desire for freedom and victory “- wrote Geraskiewicz a few days ago on Instagram.
