The Belarus sprinter in the Tokyo Olympic games who refused this past weekend to board a flight home on Monday entered a Polish embassy in Japan.
The athlete, Krystsina Tsimanouskaya, 24, has told at least one person in her home country that she intends to seek asylum in Poland, according to Reuters . Polish consular officials did not respond to the wire service’s requests for confirmation or comment.
However, Polish foreign ministry official Marcin Przydacz has tweeted Tsimanouskaya has been “offered a humanitarian visa and is free to pursue her sporting career in Poland if she so chooses.”
It’s clear whether the situation is related to discord in Belarus, a former Soviet state that is run with a tight grip by President Alexander Lukashenko.
The sprinter, set to compete in the women’s 200 meter heats Monday, said she was taken to the airport Sunday night to board a Turkish Airlines flight.
She told Reuters the Belarusian head coach came to her room Sunday at the athletes village and told her she had to leave.
But she refused to board the flight and sought the protection of Japanese police at the airport.

The Belarusian Olympic Committee said coaches had decided to withdraw Tsimanouskaya from the games on doctors’ advice about her “emotional, psychological state.”
Belarus athletics head coach Yuri Moisevich told state television he “could see there was something wrong with her… She either secluded herself or didn’t want to talk.”

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
