During the awards ceremony Yulia Chumgalakova At the European Championships there was a non-peculiar mistake with the anthem of the Russian Federation. The head coach of the Russian women’s boxing team, Albert Mutalibov, told .
Earlier on Saturday, Chumgalakova won a gold medal in the weight category up to 48 kg. During the award ceremony, technical problems occurred during the performance of the anthem of the Russian Federation. After the anthem was played and the show began, the sound died down, but the audience continued to sing. Chumgalakova herself burst into tears. The Russian became a double European champion.
— The situation with the anthem was repeated again; a similar story happened at the World Championships in India. Then they played Tchaikovsky’s symphony instead of the Russian anthem, but they eventually changed it. In the case of Yulia Chumgalakova, I think there was simply a technical error. This was not done on purpose. It’s just that history has repeated itself, which is why many are discussing this moment. In any case, it is very pleasant and we are proud that the Russian Boxing Federation is the only one to participate in international tournaments with the national flag and anthem. This is a big event and we are part of this history,” Mutalibov told .
The Russian team will participate in the European Championships with national symbols, according to the decision of the International Boxing Association (AIBA).
