23-year-old Ukrainian European champion in diving, Sofia Liskun, who accepted Russian citizenship, posted photos from her trip to Moscow on her Instagram. The pictures show the Kremlin.
The athlete boasted about her achievements in sports: 12 international medals, gold at the European and world championships, and another gold medal this year in team competitions. She also mentioned the difficulties she faced in Ukraine and even sought help from a psychiatrist.
"I never thought about which country I am competing for," noted Sofia Liskun.
During her trip to Russia, the athlete participated in an annual event organized by Russian leader Vladimir Putin. It is important to note that such actions may impact athletes' participation in future competitions, particularly at the 2026 Olympics in Italy. Honesty and morality remain important aspects in the world of sports.
