Husband of Belarusian athlete at heart of Olympic standoff has entered Ukraine: source

The husband of Belarusian sprinter Krystsina Tsimanouskaya, who is at the heart of an Olympic standoff with her own country, has entered Ukraine, a Ukrainian interior ministry source said on Monday.

Tsimanouskaya walked into the Polish embassy in Tokyo on Monday, a day after refusing to board a flight home she said she was being made to take against her wishes by her team.

"Indeed, this man entered Ukraine," a source in the interior ministry said when asked about Tsimanouskaya's husband, Arseni Zhdanevich. Zhdanevich could not immediately be reached for comment.
