Belarusian sprinter Krystsina Tsimanouskaya is in the care of Polish diplomatic services, Poland deputy foreign minister Marcin Przydacz said on Wednesday.

"Ms. Krystsina Tsimanouskaya is under the care of the Polish diplomatic service. As we have indicated many times, for safety reasons we do not provide details of the flight route," Przydacz wrote in a text message, using the same language posted on Twitter by another deputy foreign minister shortly afterwards.
