If Krystsina Tsimanouskaya were not at risk of being poisoned by Belarusian state security forces, she would perhaps have chosen chlodnik, a cold beetroot soup served with kefir yoghurt and dill. It is a national dish of both her native Belarus, the country from which she has just defected, and Poland, her new home, where she finds herself under 24-hour protection. As it is, the Belarusian sprint champion is having nothing. Unless it is tested by the security services, she is not permitted even bottled water.
