Paris 2024 : comment un duel au sabre entre une Ukrainienne et une Russe a changé la face du monde olympique

Le 27 juillet 2023, aux Mondiaux d’escrime de Milan, un match entre Olga Kharlan et Anna Smirnova a considérablement fait évoluer la question de la participation, ou non, des athlètes des deux pays en guerre aux prochains Jeux olympiques.

Nicht “unnötig streng” sondern prorussisch.
Usmanow ist Putins Mann.

Krista-Marija Läbe: @TomHS10 @polenz_r @FIE_fencing Olha Kharlan hatte ihre Bereitschaft zum Abgrüßen mit dem Säbel deutlich signalisiert. Darauf wurde von der russischen Fechterin nicht eingegangen, die auf den Handschlag bestanden hat. @FIE_fencing legte die Regeln unnötig streng aus.

Un briciolo di #umanità in più nell'applicazione del #regolamento, ed ora la #Kharlan ha la strada spianata per le #Olimpiadi e difficilmente un atleta #Ucraino dovrà vivere il #saluto come una pastoia ed un atto di umiliazione verso l'#invasore #Russo

Prima esclusa e poi riammessa la sciabolatrice Ucraina alle Olimpiadi: il caso

Il 27 luglio è successo un evento sportivo che va oltre i confini dello sport e dei regolamenti e tocca il concetto stesso di umanità

Der internationale #Fechtverband #FIE hat sich offenbar dem massiven öffentlichen Druck gebeugt und die #Disqualifikation und #Suspendierung von Olga #Kharlan aufgehoben.
Sogar, der politisch und kommerziell treuelose, um nicht #korrupt sagen zu müssen, #Präsident des Internationalen Olympischen Komitees #IOC Thomas #Bach hat sich schon zu Wort gemeldet und #Charlan die Teilnahme an den nächsten olympischen Spielen #2024 in #Paris versprochen.

Mondiaux d'escrime : une sabreuse ukrainienne disqualifiée après avoir refusé de saluer son adversaire russe

C'était la première fois depuis le début de la guerre en Ukraine qu'une escrimeuse ukrainienne combattait contre une Russe, lors des Mondiaux à Milan, jeudi. La polémique a poussé le CIO à réagir, appelant à faire preuve de "sensibilité" à l'égard des sportifs ukrainiens.
