Ukraine’s four-time world sabre champion Olha Kharlan faced off against Russian Anna Smirnova who was competing under a neutral flag at the world championships in Milan, Italy, on Thursday.
Kharlan, 32, came out victorious, but as Smirnova stepped forward at the end of the bout, the Ukrainian instead held out her blade so they could tip them together and avoid a hand shake. Smirnova, still holding out her hand, was livid.
While it wasn’t picked up on the microphones clearly over the sound of cheers from the stands, Kharlan – holding her blue and yellow painted helmet to one side – was also seen exchanging words with her opponent after beating her 15-7 in the bout.
The Ukrainian had made clear ahead of the contest that she would refuse to shake Smirnova’s hand.
In fencing’s rules, shaking an opponent’s hand is mandatory and failure to do so results in a ‘black card’. This then led to Kharlan – a four-time Olympic medallist and world champion – being disqualified from the contest, prompting condemnation from her home country.
Smirnova was competing under a neutral flag at the tournament – but pictures of her circulating on Instagram show her posing with a man, believed to be her brother, in a Russian military outfit.
周四，乌克兰四届佩剑世界冠军奥尔哈·哈兰与以中立旗帜参加意大利米兰世锦赛的俄罗斯选手安娜·斯米尔诺娃展开对决。
32 岁的卡兰取得了胜利，但当斯米尔诺娃在比赛结束时向前迈出一步时，乌克兰人却伸出了她的剑，这样她们就可以碰一下剑，避免握手。 斯米尔诺娃仍然伸出手，脸色铁青。
在以 15-7 击败对手后，卡兰将她的漆成蓝黄色头盔放在一侧，被看到与对手交换话语， 但看台上的欢呼声遮盖了麦克风中她们的对话。乌克兰人在比赛前就明确表示，她将拒绝与斯米尔诺娃握手。
在击剑规则中，与对手握手是强制性的，不这样做会导致“黑牌”。 这导致四届奥运会奖牌获得者和世界冠军卡兰被取消比赛资格，引发了乌克兰的谴责。
斯米尔诺娃以中立旗帜参加比赛，但 Instagram 上流传的她的照片显示，她与一名身穿俄罗斯军装的男子合影，据信是她的兄弟。
