Angela Bladtseva, a Russian trampoline athlete, has sparked widespread condemnation after participating in a pro-war event in Krasnodar. Bladtseva reportedly competed against the backdrop of a large military symbol "Z" and a Russian war propaganda slogan "We don’t abandon our own". This has led to fervent calls for her immediate suspension from international competitions.

The international sporting community has vehemently criticized Bladtseva's involvement in an event perceived as endorsing war propaganda, reigniting discussions about the ethical responsibilities of athletes and their role in promoting peace, unity, and fair play in sports. Urgent calls have emerged for decisive action to address the situation and uphold the integrity of international sportsmanship.
