MOSCOW (RUS): World champions Mariya Lasitskene and Anzhelika Sidorova have decided to share their 10 million rubles bonuses (around 150 000 USD) which were awarded to them by the Russian Boxing Federation (RBF) with their Russian teammates who also competed at the World Championships in Doha, informs TASS. “We [Lasitskene and Sidorova] decided to share this award with all medalists and participants of the [2019 IAAF] World Championships. All those, who went to Doha, will receive a part of our prize money. I hope they will be happy and grateful,” said Lasitskene.

RunBlogRun opines: This is one of the class acts of the year. Both athletes showed their respect of their fellow athletes. They both competed well in Doha and I just liked their actions.
