This thing about national pride, it's sad. I'm British with no Ukrainian blood in me whatsoever, but since 1992 I've been a huge supporter of Ukrainian sport, especially women's athletics and gymnastics. It seems like a lot of athletes are emigrating to other countries - not too bad in itself, but when they compete for these countries, often against Ukrainians, in major events it does not seem right. I know Ukraine is not rich, but it's richer than Kenya for heaven's sake. Very much so. Yet whom do Kenyan athletes run for? Kenya. So we know whom Ukrainians should run for. Ukraine.
