The coaching staff demanded that she compete in a discipline she had not trained for. The athlete refused and brought the problem to the public&#8217;s attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this way, her fans learned about her conflict with Artur \u0160umak, deputy director of the Belarusian National Olympic Training Center in Athletics, and Juryj Maisievi\u010d, athletics head coach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On August 1, 2021, Cimano\u016dskaja was to be forcibly sent to her home country, but asked police for help at Tokyo airport. From Japan, she flew to Austria and then to Poland, where she now lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Polish President Andrzej Duda signed an act granting her citizenship in June 2023. On August 7, Cimano\u016dskaja said that she had gained the right to compete for Poland in international games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An opponent of Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka&#8217;s regime, she is running for the Coordination Council from the Law and Order group led by Alaksandar Azara\u016d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two more Belarusian women have a chance to qualify for the Olympics from Poland: high jumper Maryja \u017dodzik and dressage rider Volha Safronava.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 5, Pozirk.
