STATEMENT: Tilka Paljk

The international equality-in-sport charity, equitysport have made a short statement regarding our ambassadorial relationship with Tilka Paljk.

Following a post made on social media that ran counter to our values as a charity, equitysport have decided to withdraw from our association with the Zambian Olympic swimmer, Tilka Paljk. As such, Tilka Paljk will no longer be an ambassador for equitysport.

We wish to put on record our sincere thanks to Tilka for her support over the past year, and wish her the very best in her future endeavours in and out of the pool. We will not be making any further comment.
