Team USA star Oksana Masters says she was told by Paralympic officials that she needed to “cover up [her] Ukrainian heart stickers” before competing, the 19-time Paralympic medalist told CNN in an interview Friday.

Just because someone could cover up my sticker, it was not going to cover up my fire and that drive I had within me.” It’s unclear exactly why officials allegedly told Masters to cover the symbols.

And it was just one of the officials at the start ramp, and I understand why,” Masters explained. “It was challenging because – as someone who was born in Ukraine, an American athlete and a US citizen – I feel like the power of the start line is representing all parts of you and where you come from.
