Belarusian pentathlete Aliaksandr Liasun, competing at the Olympic Games in Rio for Russia, leads after the fencing competition, having won 28 of 35 fights and gained 268 points.

After the Beijing Olympics, 28-year-old Liasun moved from Belarus to Russia, Tribune reminds.

The athlete names two reasons for his move to the neighboring country: it was forbidden for him to carry on his professional career due to the state of health in Belarus, and the second reason is that it was hard to get into the Belarusian national team, as the head coach patronized his personal student.
