A Russian track and field athlete, Olesya Krasnomovets, who is married to Forsheva, shared a troubling post on her social media about a bag containing documents and money being stolen in Italy. She said the remarks were made in the context of a difficult personal moment during her stay in the country.
According to Krasnomovets, she was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. She expressed a deep desire to leave Italy and return home, describing the situation as a nightmare and stating that she was struggling to cope with the circumstances. Her account emphasized the emotional strain she felt while she was abroad for competition.
She noted that she was able to identify the thieves thanks to headphones that provided a location signal. The alleged perpetrators were described as a group of travelers who refused to return the stolen items, complicating the effort to recover the belongings.
The athlete had traveled to Italy to participate in a marathon event. Her statements drew attention to the challenges athletes can face when competing far from home, including concerns over personal security and the handling of personal possessions during international events.
Across her athletic career, Krasnomovets accumulated notable results. In 2004, she earned a silver medal at the Olympic Games as part of the Russian women’s 4×400-meter relay team. Earlier that year, she achieved a significant breakthrough by winning a silver medal in the 400 meters at the World Indoor Championships. Her success continued at the 2006 World Indoor Championships in Moscow, where she became a two-time world champion in the 400 meters and as part of the 4×400-meter relay.
Over her career, she collected three golds and one silver from World Indoor Championships and also earned gold and silver medals at the 2011 European Indoor Championships, underscoring a sustained level of high performance on the international stage.
There is a note about a separate, older incident involving a young racer in Moscow, described as a drunken accident when the racer was 16 years old. The statement appears to reflect a past event associated with her broader athletic history, not directly linked to the present claim about the theft in Italy.
Events like these illuminate the pressures that athletes often manage while competing across different countries. While the personal incident in Italy is described from Krasnomovets’s perspective, it stands alongside a career that includes multiple podium appearances at major international competitions and a record of long-standing involvement at the highest levels of track and field.
