Some of Russias own athletes appeared to make a statement of their own against their nations anti-gay propaganda law. After winning gold in the 4 x 400-metre relay race at the World Athletics Championships in Moscow on Saturday, Russians Kseniya Ryzhova and Tatyana Firova kissed each other on the lips after accepting their medals on the podium. Shortly afterwards, teammates Yulia Gushchina and Antonina Krivoshapka got involved as all four women kissed one another in celebration before joining hands and bowing to the stadium crowd. Vladimir Putins government has been under attack for its law that bans public displays advocating gay rights. With the Sochi Olympics scheduled for February, there has been talk of protests and possible boycotts surrounding the Winter Games.

His racquet-smashing, on-court slurs and Twitter rants have branded him the modern day John McEnroe, minus the major success.ESPN has compiled a list of the top eight most infamous Kyrgios moments.The almost disqualification (August, 2014) Kyrgios 2014 US Open is remembered as the tournament he stunned Rafael Nadal in the fourth round, but trailing in our memory from that fortnight at Flushing Meadows, only just, was his round-one outburst. In his clash with Mikhail Youzhny, Kyrgios was handed three warnings for various instances of audible obscenities and racquet smashing. One more display of inappropriate conduct would have seen him disqualified. While he had certainly arrived as a future tennis star, it was clear this wasnt going to be an isolated incident.War of words with Stan Wawrinka (March, 2015) The Australian delivered a controversial and downright ugly sledge during a match against fans favourite Stan Wawrinka at the 2015 Rogers Cup. Kyrgios suggestion that fellow Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis had banged your girlfriend, came under severe scrutiny as tennis fans lashed out at him for his comments. The ATP fined Kyrgios US$10,000 -- which would increase to US$25,000 for a second offence -- as well as handing down a 28-day tour suspended sentence. The controversy also forced Kyrgios mother, Nill, to shut down her Twitter account after a raft of personal attacks.Umpire abuse (June, 2015) Inappropriate language has landed Kyrgios in hot water on more than one occasion, but none more so than at Wimbledon in 2015. Kyrgios let out a series of curses after hitting a wild shot, and one of the linesman complained to the chair umpire. Demanding answers, Kyrgios marched up to Carlos Bernardes saying: What did he say to you? Does it feel good to be up there in that chair? Does it make you feel strong? Kyrgios refused post-match to apologise for his comments.Double trouble at Wimbledon (June, 2015) During a match with Milos Raonic, Kyrgios was handed a code violation after angrily throwing his racquet into the ground with so much force that it leaped over the court barriers into a spectator. Later in the match, Kyrgios exchanged words with a female spectator who allegedly told him to pull your head in. Kyrgios retaliated in typical style, claiming she had no idea what it was like to play tennis professionally.Tanking at Wimbledon (June, 2015) After a number of controversial calls went against him, Kyrgios appeared to completely give up on his fourth-round match against Richard Gasquet at the All England Club. Kyrgios looked disinterested in the match after dropping the first set and trailing 2-0 in the second -- at times not even attempting to return the Frenchmans serve. With a chorus of boos ringing around the court and Kyrgios telling his entourage in the coaching box to leave, this could easily be labelled the lowest of his many low points.ddddddddddddDealing with Chiller and Fraser (May, 2016) You can probably guess what Kyrgios did when Australias Olympic Chef de Mission Kitty Chiller accused the tennis brat of acting like a buffoon and not in a manner that would warrant selection as an Olympian. Yep, he took to Twitter and suggested she should watch some of his highlights before ruling him out of Olympic contention. The comments came months after Kyrgios labelled Dawn Fraser a racist after the Australian Olympic legend had told him to go back where he came from. Kyrgios then withdraw himself from Olympic selection.Only interested in Pokemon (July, 2016) Kyrgios caused a stir on Twitter when he claimed he was more interested in catching Pokemon than playing tennis. A series of tweets that suggested he got more of a thrill from watching a Pokemon egg hatch than winning a break point once again divided fans. When someone suggested his actions wouldnt have been mimicked by tennis greats Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, Kyrgios retorted by saying, Did Fed or Nole have a 200CP Gyarados... Didnt think so.Cincinnati meltdown?(August, 2016) During his unexpected early exit from the?Cincinnati Masters, the Australian vented his frustrations Happy Gilmore style by smashing?not one, not two, but three tennis racquets. Kyrgios lost to Borna Coric 7-6, 4-6, 7-6 in the second round and showed his displeasure after dropping an opening set tiebreaker. He did the dirty work by picking up the racquets from his courtside seat and smashing them them on the hardcourt surface, one after the other.Mac attack (August, 2016)Kyrgios withdrew from his US Open third-round match against Illya Marchenko with a hip flexor injury, saying he felt like hed been hit by a bus at one point during the defeat. I cant move. I cant turn, mate, he said to his courtside trainer. Whats the f---ing point?John McEnroe, who has been critical and complimentary of Kyrgios in equal measure since the 21-year-olds emergence on the tour, was unimpressed, however.Nick Kyrgios, if you dont want to be a professional tennis player, do something else, McEnroe said. Hes hurt because hes not training eno
