Belarusian sprinter Kristina Timanovskaya is seen at Haneda International Airport in Tokyo, on August 1. “I am afraid that I might be jailed in Belarus,” she said, speaking from Tokyo’s Haneda airport. “I am not afraid of being fired or kicked out of the national team. Timanovskaya told Tribuna that she was “outraged” and that doing so was “a complete disrespect” because it is a distance she had never competed in before. That is what I finally did,” she told Tribuna.
