Description
Pieces of black sports equipment lay outside the UK Houses of Parliament in a display honouring the 487 Ukrainian athletes who have been killed during the war. "I knew them personally," says Oksana Rakhra, a Ukrainian freestyle wrestler who has become a spokesperson for the country's sporting community. Ukrainian athletes "can't sleep because the sirens are always disturbing them," she says, explaining that even while abroad, they can't "train peacefully because it's always in the back of their mind."
