Russia opts out of FIG competitions 2024

I’m thinking this is the best possible result for the rest of the world.

FIG made an attempt to return Russian athletes to international competition as IOC decided — and they decided not to participate.

The Olympics will be a much more positive event without Russia.

Valentina Rodionenko:

“We do not agree with any of the admission criteria that FIG has developed …

Until the international federation makes changes to its document, we will not send athletes to the starts.

This is the decision of the national team’s coaching staff.”
