Two Ukrainian female skiers refused to compete in Sochi in protest
Two Ukrainian female skiers have failed to appear for their semi-final at the Sochi Olympics today, the Ukrainian news agency UNIAN reports.
Marina Lisogor and Katerina Serdyuk were due to compete in the women's cross-country skiing Team Sprint Classic semi-finals.
However, the Ukrainian skiers refused to compete in protest to the current developments in Kiev. Marina Lisogor and Katerina Serdyuk have not yet made any comment for the media.
For the time being, the Ukrainian Olympian team has won only one bronze medal in 2014 Sochi Olympic Games.
Ukrainian Olympians: "We, members of the National Olympic team of Ukraine: Matsotska Bohdana and Matsotskiy Oleh are deeply indignant at recent actions of President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych. Instead of negotiations to resolve the conflict at Maidan ( we had a hope for while leaving to the Olympic Games in Sochi) he sank the latest hopes of Ukrainians in blood, thus breaking with the eternal principle of the Olympic Games - the Peace during the Olympics.
In solidarity with the fighters on Maidan barricades and protests against the bandit - the president and his grovelling government, we refuse further performance at the Olympic Games in Sochi 2014.
An imperishable memory of fallen heroes of Ukraine for freedom!
Glory to Ukraine and its Heroes!"
