The Ukrainian fencing federation on Thursday demanded Olha Kharlan be reinstated at the World Championships after she was disqualified for refusing to shake the hand of her beaten Russian opponent.
“We have already submitted our protest to the Bureau of the International Fencing Federation,” the President of Ukraine’s Fencing Federation Mykhaylo Ilyashev told journalists.
“We are waiting for the immediate consideration of this protest, so that this disqualification is cancelled and Olha can take part in team competitions.”
