"Just boasting of pain": Russian media "expose" Ukrainian world champion who called for a complete ban of Russians

Ukrainian world high jump champion Yaroslava Mahuchikh has once again drove Russians crazy. Our compatriot called for preventing Russian representatives from participating in international competitions even in a neutral status. The agressor country called her a "scum".

In addition, the Sovetsky Sport media outlet responded by accusing the 22-year-old Dnipro native of seeking profit. In the article "Ukrainian woman demands to extend the suspension of Russians. But patriotism has nothing to do with it", author Alexandr Shulgin repeated the traditional narratives of Kremlin propaganda that all athletes are afraid of competition with representatives of the Russian Federation.

"Of course, it's much easier to win when you have eliminated your competitors. After the Russians were suspended, Yaroslava's last obstacles to winning top-level awards disappeared. It is even more convenient to exert a small amount of pressure on international sports federations, demanding that sanctions against Russian athletes remain in place, boasting of patriotism and pain for their people. It is clear that these feelings are known for Mahuchikh, but her actions are beginning to show a selfish motive," the Russian media wrote.
