Krystsina Tsimanouskaya

Krystsina Siarheyeuna Tsimanouskaya (born 19 November 1996) is a Belarusian-born Polish sprinter. She has won numerous medals at various events, including a silver medal in the 100 metres at the 2017 European U23 Championships, a gold medal in the 200 metres at the 2019 Summer Universiade, and a silver medal in the team event at the 2019 European Games.

Tsimanouskaya qualified to represent Belarus at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, competing in the women's 100 m and 200 m events. On 30 July 2021, a scandal broke out during the Olympics when she accused officials from the Belarus Olympic Committee (BOC) of entering her into the 4 × 400 metres relay (a distance she had never contested) without her consent.

BOC coaches withdrew her from the Olympics on 1 August and took her to Haneda Airport to return to Belarus, but she refused to board the plane and contacted Japanese authorities, who granted her police protection; she was given a humanitarian visa at the Polish embassy in Tokyo before flying to Poland, where she later gained Polish citizenship. In 2023, the World Athletics Nationality Review Panel waived the normal three-year waiting period for citizenship changes, allowing her to compete for Poland.
