Olympics Paris 2024 Hurdles for Ukraine
Hurdler Anna Ryzhykova trains at the sports center in Kyiv, Ukraine on Monday, Jan. 8, 2024. Her competitions are no longer strictly an individual battle, but war on a different front. Her goal is not just gold, but also to rivet global attention on her country’s fight for survival against Russia. “You’re not doing it for yourself anymore,” she says. “Winning a medal just for yourself, being a champion, realizing your ambitions — it’s inappropriate.” (AP Photo/Evgeniy Maloletka)

"I'd love governing bodies of sports to do more to accommodate religion," said the 34-year-old mother of five.
