Kornelija Dūdaitė, a member of the Lithuanian national Functional Fitness team which has decided to withdraw from the World Championships in Budapest because of Dūdaitė’s disqualification from the competition for wearing a T-shirt sporting the comment “Make Russia small again”, has continued her protest on social media.
In particular, she posted photos on Instagram of herself wearing two T-shirts, one bearing the face of Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin and the word “Dickhead”, and the other with “F**k Putin” written on it.
Kornelija’s friend also joined the protest, posing with her in the second photo in a T-shirt with the words “Crimea is Ukraine”.
Kornelija was upset that Russian athletes were not competing under a “neutral flag”, so she decided to wear a T-shirt to remind everyone of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.
Her actions were supported by her teammates in the Lithuanian national team, and the entire national team withdrew from the competition.
