Anastasia Gorbenko was booed after winning a historic silver medal at the World Championships. Media all over the globe reported on the unusual incident.
The presence of Israeli swimmers in Qatar was criticized by some of the demonstrators in Doha against the background of the war in Gaza. "I'm here to represent my country... and I'm doing it with the Israeli flag, and I's proud of it," said Gorben Koinne. "There was no way I would miss the podium just because some little kids do what they want," she said.
