Defeated Russian fencer complains that her Ukranian opponent didn't shake her hand: “Fu**, why are they allowed sh** like this, who the fu** do they think they are?”
A controversial event occurred during the European Fencing Championships in Basel, involving Ukrainian Olena Kryvytska and Russian Maya Guchmazova, who represented Georgia.
After the fight, which Kryvytska won with the score of 15:9, the Ukrainian refused to shake hands with her Russian opponent. Guchmazova cursed in response: "Fu**, why are they allowed sh** like this, who the fu** do they think they are?"
I too wouldn't shake the hands of a person who's from the country currently invading, pillaging, and raping my land and its people.
Rules or no, they need to take in some considerations when you have two opponents from currently warring countries. She's lucky that she didn't want to touch her. I'd be using that fencing sword like it was a real fight even after it was declared over.
So pathetic that all over professional sports, Russians are just able to declare they represent different countries (or the neutral flag) and just continue.
