I am sharing in a better quality due to recent events.
Věra Čáslavská support of the Czechoslovak democratization movement and her opposition to the 1968 Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia. At the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, she took this protest to the world stage by quietly looking down and away while the Soviet national anthem was played during the medal ceremonies for the balance beam and floor exercise event finals. While Čáslavská's actions were applauded by her compatriots, they resulted in her becoming a persona non grata in the new regime. She was forced into retirement and for many years was denied the right to travel, work and attend sporting events.

So unfair ..I could imagine what she was going through ( even back then you could see the unjustified actions of СССР , now ruzzki 🤬) have not changed until now .

@oskarfabian5200

She was hiding in the woods before the Olympics, practicing on trees. Preparing for the Olympics in a forest.

Remember, nothing has changed in Russia. NOTHING.

@Mute_Nostril_Agony

To me the obvious difference between then and now is that she’s a grown assed woman of 26, whereas now is pre-teens who get the medals
