National Team Head Coach Russia in artistic gymnastics Valentina Rodionenko expressed hope that sanctions against Russian athletes would be lifted next year.
We have been suspended since March 7. We train, prepare and firmly believe that in 2023 we will still be allowed everywhere, – Rodionenko said on the air of the program “There is a theme!” on MatchTV.
The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) in March suspended Russian athletes from participating in competitions under the organization’s auspices due to the situation in Ukraine. In February, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) urged federations not to invite Russians and Belarusians before taking part in tournaments.
