Belarus athlete in Olympics ‘kidnap’ row switches flight to Vienna
The Times says a Belarusian Olympic athlete who escaped efforts to fly her back home after she publicly criticised her coaches has left Japan for Vienna, after changing her flight to Warsaw at the last minute.
The switch by Krystsina Tsimanouskaya, 24, who is under the protection of Polish diplomats, comes after a Ryanair flight crossing Belarusian airspace was forced to land so that a dissident on board could be arrested. She is expected to travel onwards to Warsaw at a later date, although reports in Poland also said that Tsimanouskaya often trained in Vienna.
