#Belarus It’s been reported that Kryscina Tsimanouskaya, who publicly criticized the regime and sports officials, is being sent from Tokyo back to Belarus. Apparently, representatives of the Belarusian national team took her to the airport. It looks like kidnapping pic.twitter.com/led3PfncEQ

Looks like an international scandal is brewing in Tokyo: Belarusian athlete Kryscina Tsimanouskaya publicly appeals for help & says staff from her national Olympic committee are trying to forcibly repatriate her to Belarus after she criticised Belarusian sports officials. pic.twitter.com/70ztwLlD00

When he lost his match today, he threw a racket into the net, smashed another racket, skipped a doubles match to end his tantrum with.
When racism, sexism and hypocrisy meet.
Fave moment of the Olympics so far. Barshim (Qatar) and Tamberi (Italy) were tied in the high-jump final. The official is there talking about a prospective jump-off, but Barshim asks immediately: "Can we have two golds?" One look, no words exchanged, they know they're sharing it. pic.twitter.com/E3SneYFocA

"If you are aiming to be at the top of the game you better start learning how to deal with pressure and how to cope with those moments — on the court but also off the court."

Consider this: Donald Trump gave Jim Jordan the Medal of Freedom on January 11-- five days after the insurrection, a day in which Trump and Jordan had a conversation. A conversation Jordan does not want to talk about. Not difficult to connect the dots. @BennieGThompson Note!

Here we go again. All she reportedly did was criticize the Belarusian Olympic team management. Participating EU nations and the US should condemn this thuggish act. @Olympics, this is happening at your event. A strong, public response is called for now. https://t.co/7uOeArf623

Novak Djokovic to Simone Biles: “Without pressure there is no professional sport. If you are aiming to be at the top of the game you better start learning how to DEAL WITH PRESSURE.”
