🇺🇦 Ukrainian tennis player Oleksandra Oliynykova scored her first-ever win over a russian opponent at Roland Garros and then openly spoke about double standards in WTA.

“Many russian athletes actively participate in propaganda, play in Gazprom-linked tournaments, and openly support Putin,” she said after the match.

Oliynykova also revealed that she had been pressured by the WTA for months over her public statements about russian players and the war. According to her, officials demanded she stop mentioning certain athletes by name and threatened her with fines and even disqualification.

@arnsholt Ikke sant? Overraskende 😂

[Kristoffer Gressli @gressli]

Kritikerne av Magnus Carlsen sier at han bare beholder ratingen sin fordi han ikke spiller. Og så stiller han i en turnering og går opp 1 poeng. Blir morsomt med Norway Chess på hjemmebane i Oslo om to uker med en Carlsen som har spilt seg varm i Sverige!

@martineh24 Awww, det er kjærleik!!

[Kristoffer Gressli @gressli]

@TarjeiJS I’m quite certain that is a truth with quite some modification. I’m 98,2% certain he’s at least read most of «Pal Benko: My Life, Games and Compositions» :)

@HelgeNordahl @larre Fortsatt en del småbugs som må gjøres manuelt (klubbkartet f.eks.), men har du ønsker er veien kort fra idé til gjennomføring, så rop ut!

[Kristoffer Gressli @gressli]

Den siste tiden har @larre og jeg puslet med et lite hobbyprosjekt på sida, siden det ikke finnes noen ordentlig side for norsk sjakkrating lenger. Så da får man bare gjøre det sjæl! Sjekk ut https://t.co/NVhggI4ht3 ! 📷

@larre Helt sykt

[Kristoffer Gressli @gressli]

Dette er den mest spektakulære og eksotiske sjakkturneringen jeg har vært med på. Utrolig bra både i og utenfor spillehallen, kjøring med huskyer, snøscooter, ishotell, fellesmiddag med alle spillere og nordlysjakt. Skal du på én sjakkturnering neste år, bør du velge denne!

[Simon Williams @ginger_gm]

1st for a change. What an amazing tournament 🗯
Northern Norway is a beautiful place 🤸‍♂️

This was a real labour of love and includes lots of fun lines.
If you want an aggressive yet sound reply to 1 d4, 1 c4, 1 Nf3 etc this could be for you. 🤙

@almraujo @TarjeiJS It’s also not Oslo, though 1,5-2hrs closer to Oslo than Fagernes, but als 2 years earlier.

[Kristoffer Gressli @gressli]

@arnsholt @TarjeiJS Maybeeee, but that was 45 for 40 moves and 15 mins for the rest of the game, so it wasn’t classical at the time.

[Kristoffer Gressli @gressli]

@TarjeiJS Yep, but that’s way closer to Oso than Stavanger an Tromsø :p
