Belarusian sprinter used Google Translate to get help from Japanese cops

The Belarusian Olympic sprinter who fled to Poland after publicly criticizing her coaches said she was able to do so thanks to Japanese police, Google Translate — and her babushka.

Krystsina Tsimanouskaya, 24, slammed her coaches last week for putting her in a relay she hadn’t trained for and was soon whisked away to Tokyo’s Haneda airport and ordered to return home to avoid “some problem[s]” in the country if she failed to oblige, ITV reported. Her grandmother had warned her not to return because she was hearing negative reports about her on state-run media channels, so Tsimanouskaya refused to board the plane and used her phone to translate a message asking Japanese police for help.
