2013 Moscow kiss
Ryzhova made headlines after winning gold in the 4 × 400 metres relay at the 2013 World Championships in Athletics, and thereafter kissing her Russian teammates as they received medals on the podium.[3] On 18 August 2013 SkyNews reported the photo of the kiss between Ryzhova and Yuliya Gushchina[4] as a political gesture but later retracted and said that there was a "huge debate on Twitter and other media about whether it was in protest at the government's anti-gay law"[5]—a law banning "homosexual propaganda" in Russia.
On an interview to the Italian news agency ANSA, the athletes denied that the kisses were a protest against the "homosexual propaganda" law[6][7] and said that such speculations were "insulting".[8]
