Czech police stopped a Russian tennis player from entering the country ahead of the WTA Prague Open tournament, organisers said on Friday, as a new government resolution banning athletes from Russia or Belarus caused the event to scratch other competitors.

    Nice. We Czechs remember how it feels when Russia thinks your country should be theirs. This won’t solve anything but I think it’s a nice gesture of solidarity with our Ukrainian friends.

      The solidarity with the Ukranian friends is to ban russian or belarussian athletes? Even if they are against the war, which is a pretty dangerous position to be taking if they plan to get back to their country?
