5月19日のThe Japan Times Online記事 'Russian gymnast banned for one year for pro-war 'Z' symbol' の冒頭個所から引用します。
A Russian gymnast who sported an insignia linked to his country’s invasion of Ukraine on a medal podium has been banned for one year, a disciplinary panel said.
Ivan Kuliak’s singlet had the letter “Z” prominently placed as he stood next to Ukraine’s Kovtun Illia, the gold medalist at a World Cup event in Doha in March.
The Z has been seen daubed on Russian tanks and vehicles in Ukraine and has come to symbolize support for the invasion.

"singlet" はこのロシアの選手が身に着けた何か、あるいは衣服だと思いますが、初めて見る単語なので辞書を見ます。

・Collins Dictionary: A singlet is a sleeveless sports shirt worn by athletes and boxers.: ...a grubby running singlet.
いわゆるランニングシャツですね。
