Triathlete. At the end of August 2020, Valentina’s contract at the Minsk triathlon club Tristyle was not renewed. As the athlete said, the director of the club, Dmitry Tolkachev, promised her to continue cooperation, but refused it after he saw Zelenkevich’s “protest” post on Instagram with a photo in which she stood with a white-red-white flag on the roadway during one of the peaceful rallies.
In the fall of 2020, Zelenkevich moved to Russia, where she continued to train and also worked as a triathlon and swimming coach. According to Tribuna, some time ago Zelenkevich returned to Belarus, and soon after that she was detained and remained behind bars until trial.
