That's what they do in pro tennis 5th.

Russians and Bela's compete as neutrals.

No flags...no anthems...no country names noted.

Ukrainian players Marta Kostyuk & Elina Svitolina decline post-match handshakes or any side by side photo ops when playing opponents from Russia or Belarus.....

The top female player in the world the past few years is Aryna Sabalenka who is Belarusian.

She has around 6 million followers on IG and is engaged to Brazilian entrepreneur Georgios Frangulis (the Oakberry Acai dude) so she is not suffering from any anti-war vehemence....

She claims to be pro-peace, anti-Lukashenko and her opinion matches MCP with respect to sports and politics.

Per would mute her.

Others wouldn't.

Might be difficult to mute with those shoulders.

She is a bit of a beast yes.

Can't decide whether she is worthy of our thread or not.
