Mystery surrounds the whereabouts of the Olympics star taken against her will after “an order from above” to “eliminate” her.
The 24-year-old said team officials had tried to remove her from Japan against her will after she criticised Belarus’s athletics federation for entering her into a relay race in Tokyo without giving her notice.
Her public plea for international help has not fallen on deaf ears and her next move remains a mystery. “I am safe and they are in the process of deciding where I am going to spend the night,” Timanovskaya said in a statement published by the Belarusian Sport Solidarity Foundation , an organisation that supports opposition athletes.
Olympics: Liz Clay and Rohan Browning narrowly missed the finals in their races, while Brandon Starc jumped a season best to finish fifth in the high jump.She said she was told that the decision was not made by the athletic federation or the Ministry of Sports, “but at a higher level”.
