there are two kind of athletes - those who stay in Russia and those who compete abroad only like tennis players and NHL players.
domestic athletes didn't say any word, they are very quiet and never speak about politics, so it was easy to shut them. there was a case of Violetta and Serger Bidas who moved to USA and they were claimed like traitors, but that's all. I don't know any athletes who were punished while they stay in the country, although there are huge lists of punished writers, artists etc
althletes abroad for some reason are not punished. those like Daria Kasatkina or Nikita Zadorov who spoke publicly on YouTube are still mentioned in news like athletes to be proud of.
but I guess if anyone will speak in Western media, that will be a disaster for them, they won't return back
