“I calmed down when I saw that the sportswoman Kristina Timanovskaya had arrived safely in Poland.
However, another proud Belarusian woman was forced to flee her country because of the actions of the Lukashenka regime and the violation of the Olympic truce, ”Borrell wrote on Twitter.
Recall that Timanovskaya on social networks criticized the decision of the leadership of the national team of Belarus, having learned that she was announced for the 4 × 400 m relay at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
Later, the athlete asked the IOC for help, saying that they were trying to take her out of Tokyo without consent.
On August 2, the Polish Foreign Ministry announced that it had received the Timanovskaya humanitarian visa.
The Polish authorities also issued a humanitarian visa to Arseniy Zdanevich, the husband of a Belarusian athlete.
Earlier, two Belarusian coaches were deprived of their accreditation for the Olympic Games-2020 due to the situation with Timanovskaya.
