Andy Loki: Majlinda Kelmendi, you were the one who raised Kosovo's flag before Putin's eyes.

Majlinda Kelmendi was eliminated from the Olympics as she was suddenly defeated on her first lap by Hungarian rival Reka Pup, in the -52kg category.

The disappointment was visual for Kosovo's sports secretariat, while she has suffered much in recent years from continued injuries.

However, one thing is certain, Majlinda is and will remain the most beloved and respected athlete in Kosovo.

In a proposal for the Republic, Periscop's opinionist Andin Lokaj has given his stance about eliminating it, while recalling it was what raised the Kosovo flag in front of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

It's just that it's been really hard for Tyndale to accept the elimination in the first lap. That's for the simple reason. In Tokyo she entered as the current champion from the 2016 Rio Olympics.

The mind has immediately gone to worshipers in Kosovo. She thinks we're desperate. But no, Majlinda hasn't let us down and she'll never let us down, because she's super- forward and she'll stay like that forever.

You were the one who raised the Kosovo flag in front of Putin's eyes, and in many other countries that have not recognized us. ”
