Down-the-line.com/Gymnastics. Nine-time Olympic gymnastics champion Larisa Latynina has called the absence of Russian and Soviet gymnasts a crime in an IOC-produced retrospective video on the evolution of women’s gymnastics since 1956.

Guberniev defended Apiary after being embarrassed at a sports film festival: ‘It’s a normal situation for me, and for Apiary, and for Zagitova’

The video includes fragments of the performances of the strongest athletes of different years. However, the creators completely ignored the gymnasts of the USSR and Russia. The successes of Latynina, who until 2012 was the most successful athlete on the planet in terms of the number of Olympic medals, began only in 1956.

“I am so surprised, this is incredible news. I believe that our contribution to the evolution of artistic gymnastics is so great that we do not even know why they did this. It is a pure crime. It is difficult to say whether this situation I can only wish our athletes to train, to prepare for future competitions, “Latynina told RBC Sport.
