👔 A Russian wrestler faced a Ukrainian athlete at the World Nomad Games in Kyrgyzstan. Before the bout, his opponent refused to shake his hand — and paid for the gesture moments later.
Fans backed the Russian athlete on social media:
'They still don't understand that sport is above politics.'
'A fitting response to disrespect.'
'Emil, don't get your hands dirty.'
🇷🇺 The Russian team is competing at the international tournament under its national flag and anthem.
➡Last year, Emil won a major belt-wrestling tournament in Moscow and donated his prize — a motorcycle — to Russian troops fighting in the Special Military Operation.
