Ramanouskaya will be fined around SEK 10,000 after a ruling in a court in Minsk.

She was arrested by security forces and detained after a training session on Wednesday and was convicted on Thursday of violating Belarusian law regarding protests and rallies.

- We are aware of the information about the Belarusian sportswoman Aliaksandra Ramanouskaya.

We are taking a closer look at the situation and have asked the Belarus Olympic Committee for information, says the IOC in a comment, according to Deutsche Welle.

Diplomatic crisis at the Tokyo Olympics

Ramanouskaya won World Cup gold in slopestyle 2019 but has not competed since February 2020 and has been stopped from the national team, writes AP.

She was one of the prominent athletes who signed an open letter against the election, which is considered rigged, which President Alexander Lukashenko won in August last year and which provoked major popular protests.

Other sports stars have been arrested after protests in Belarus.

At the Summer Olympics in Tokyo, a diplomatic crisis occurred when the sprinter Krystsina Tsimanouskaya fled to Poland after claiming that two Belarusian coaches tried to kidnap her and put her on a plane home to Minsk.

She had publicly criticized some of the team's coaches.
