Bahraini Arkhangelski's asylum to fame
Bahraini swimmer Michel Arhangingelski achieved his first major title in his career during the Asian Games in Tokyo, winning the gold medal in the 50-meter butterfly with a time of 22.91 seconds. After a long journey of political asylum from Russia to France, Arhangingelski faced challenges representing France due to not holding their citizenship. He then decided to represent Bahrain, which provided him with significant support and opportunities for training and development. He explained that if he returned to Russia, he would be arrested because of his family's political opposition. His switch to representing Bahrain was a successful step, allowing him to achieve his sporting accomplishments under much better circumstances.
