Sprinter touches down in Vienna after refusing to return to Belarus

Sprinter touches down in Vienna after refusing to return to Belarus MlGbN

TOKYO, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Belarusian sprinter Krystsina Tsimanouskaya flew from Tokyo to Vienna under the diplomatic protection of Poland on Wednesday, less than 72 hours after her team cut short her Olympic Games and ordered her to return home. The apparent Cold War-style defection of an Olympic athlete had become one of the major news stories of the Games, and could further isolate Belarus, which is under Western financial sanctions after a crackdown by President Alexander Lukashenko against the opposition since last year.
