Athletistic / Rhythmic gymnastics. President of the All-Russian Rhythmic Gymnastics Federation of the Russian Federation Irina Viner spoke about the main disappointments of 2023. She admitted that nothing disappoints her anymore.

“I didn’t have any disappointments this year. The only thing is that the world sports community reacts this way to Russian athletes, who were at least in rhythmic gymnastics.

We have calmed down and have already accepted the fact that there are no Russian and Belarusian leaders. And somehow they turn in their cauldron. It’s probably convenient for them. It really disappointed me,” Viner quoted Sport24 as saying.

Since 2022, Russian athletes have no longer participated in international competitions. But the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has already announced that Russian gymnasts will be able to compete at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris (France) in neutral status.
