The international sports community stands in strong condemnation of Russian freestyle skier Sofia Promyshlennikova for her recent actions. Promyshlennikova is facing severe criticism for her visits to the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, notably Crimea, during Russia's extensive invasion of Ukraine. These actions have not only ignited widespread outrage but have also ignited significant ethical concerns about the conduct of athletes during times of war.

Athletes are often considered role models with the power to influence public opinion and convey important values. In times of war, it is imperative for them to use their platform responsibly and prioritize respect for international law and the principles of peace. Promyshlennikova's decision to visit these occupied territories, in clear violation of Ukrainian law, not only contradicts these principles but also shows a disregard for the suffering and consequences of the ongoing conflict.

The sports community expects its members to uphold the values of fairness, compassion, and respect, setting an example for others. Promyshlennikova's actions go against these principles, and the sports world unites in condemning her for her lack of regard for the principles of humanity and international law.
