Kristen Kit

Just had an emotional interview with a sports journalist and translator from Ukraine. The message was clear - politics cannot be removed from sports. The Olympic spirit has never been so important, and we must stand beside the people of Ukraine & condemn Russia for their actions.

"Sadly, we're kinda experts on Nazism." Someone give @GermanEmbassySA's social media manager a raise.
