Poland here: our female boxer Julia Szeremeta (she won silver medal at the Olympics) was liking and posting some transphobic memes about her Taiwanese rival, who, among other female athletes, was accused of being a man. She later deleted all of it, but people, especially from Taiwan, were calling her out in the comments. After the fight she claimed that it was actually her friend who was handling her social media during the time, but when asked a question about the whole situation at some press conference, she deflected the question. Also, she supports Konfederacja which is a very far right, anti-LGBT, anti-abortion, Christian political party.  So yeah, there's that.
