Sochi-bound Australian Winter Olympian Belle Brockhoff has said she plans to send a strong and unambiguous message to Russian President Vladimir Putin that she disapproves of Russia's anti-gays laws.
The 21-year-old Victorian snowboard cross rider is the only openly gay athlete in the 56-strong Australian Winter Olympic team.
She has vowed to make her views known before, after, and possibly even during her snowboard cross event on Sunday, February 16.
Brockhoff said she will do limited interviews before her event, but afterwards will talk to as many people as possible in order to convey her anger towards President Vladimir Putin.
She said after completion of the games she is willing to rip off his ass, news.com.au reports.
Brockhoff is one of Australia's best medal hopes in Sochi.
