Belarusian Olympic freestyle skier Aliaksandra Ramanouskaya has been detained and fined by Belarusian police in Minsk over her alleged violation of protest laws, according to the Belarusian Sport Solidarity Foundation.
The Minsk police department confirmed Ramanouskaya has been detained, but would not confirm why or give any other details regarding the detainment.
The 25-year old competed at the 2018 PeyongChang Winter Olympics and won a gold medal at the 2019 FIS Freestyle Ski and Snowboarding World Championship.

Ramanouskaya and more than 2,000 other Belarusian sports figures, coaches and athletics personnel signed an open letter of protest condemning the 2020 Belarusian presidential election as fraudulent. Alexander Lukashenko was reelected, receiving over 80% of the votes. He has won every presidential election since 1994, and has repeatedly denied all allegations of fraud.
Several Belarusian athletes who have signed the petition or taken place in protests have been detained and jailed, while others have been kicked off their national teams.
