On Sunday, Cimanouskaya publicly appealed to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Japanese officials for help after the Belarusian delegation leaders instructed him to leave the Land of the Rising Sun and return home five years ago.
Sent from Tokyo, K. Cimanouskaya was supposed to criticize the Belarusian Athletics Federation, which unannounced the athlete in the women’s Olympic 4x400m relay race.
“It turns out that our great bosses, as always, decide everything for us,” Cimanouskaya wrote on the social network.
Although he later removed the record, it did not break the eyes of Belarusian sports leaders – the runner was told to carry things.
However, upon arrival at the airport, K. Cimanouskaja again used social media to ask for help. She did not fly to Minsk.
“I am under pressure, they try to expel me without my consent. I ask the International Olympic Committee to intervene, “Ms Cimanouskaya said in the video.

At the airport, the Belarusian also turned to the police, fearing that they might have a dungeon in his homeland.
“I am concerned for my safety. I am afraid that I may be imprisoned in Belarus, I think I am not safe there at the moment. I am in the police, I will apply for asylum later. I will act step by step. I plan to leave Tokyo, but not in the I wanted to say goodbye to the flight. Now I am protected by the police, “said the athlete.
On Monday, the organizers of the games announced that K. Cimanouskaja is safe in a hotel near the airport.
The representatives of the IOC and the organizers of the Olympic Games spoke with the Belarusian athlete last night. She assured us that she felt safe. He spent the night in a safe environment at the airport hotel, “IOC spokesman Mark Adams said on Monday, adding that the Belarusian delegation had been asked to provide official written explanations about the incident.

The Czech Republic and Poland immediately declared their willingness to offer the athlete their visas if he applied for political asylum in Europe.
On Monday, K. Cimanouskaja had to start in the 200m sprint selection. The Belarusian Olympic Committee claimed that he had been expelled from Tokyo due to his “poor emotional and psychological condition.”
We recall that due to the repression against athletes, neither the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, nor his son Viktor, who governs the National Olympic Committee, were accredited for the Tokyo Games.
