In the last episode of Chaos on the Strip I interviewed Olga Kharlan. I said in that episode that I wanted to ask her a lot of questions about her career but that there was something more important that we needed to discuss: the war in Ukraine. In this episode she and I discuss all of the other aspects of her career from how it all began to her absolutely insane Olympic Qualification season this year!Follow Olga on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/olgakharlan/Support me on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/c/CyrusofChaos

S1E20 Olga Kharlan: The War in Ukraine
Today's episode of Chaos on the strip is a bit unusual: I interviewed Olga about her experiences with the war in Ukraine two years ago but due to complicated circumstances that led to major changes in my life immediately after we recorded, I completely forgot about the interview until she and I discussed the topic of Sofia Velikaya a few days ago. Recently Sofia Velikaya, a successful Russian fencer and captain in the Russian army, decided to run for a position on the FIE's Athlete Commission representing Russia despite not being eligible for multiple reasons. Olga and I decided this was a good time to remind everyone why the Russians are currently not allowed to represent their country.Follow Olga on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/olgakharlan/Support me on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/c/CyrusofChaos
