Ukrainian champion Olga Kharlan was "buried" on social media

Two-time Olympic fencing champion Olga Kharlan has addressed her fans after rumors of her death circulated online.

On her Instagram page, the athlete reacted to the news of her supposed demise. Kharlan stated that she is doing well and urged people to verify the accuracy of the information they consume.

“Hello everyone. This morning, a follower sent me news from a certain Facebook page. To be honest, I am shocked; it will be included in my next story. The comments under this news… you’ll see for yourselves.

So, first of all, I was shocked by the news; second, I was astonished by the number of comments and how widely this news spread. Third, people, please let’s verify the accuracy of information; thankfully, it’s fake. I am fine, but please unsubscribe from these pages, don’t react. This is some kind of nonsense for me. And these pages that attract followers in this way are very low. So, folks, check your information; I am doing well,” Olga shared in her Instagram story.
