Olympic champion Melnikova complained about the food at the training camp before the Russian championship

Olympic artistic gymnastics champion Angelina Melnikova complained about the food at the Ozero Krugloye base, where she trains before the start of the Russian Championship.

— These last few days, there has been nothing to eat; in the times of Covid, the quality of food and its diversity in general has decreased significantly. I have to survive on vegetables, although I doubt boiled cabbage will be enough for my muscles to recover. How sad, sad… Bring back the past.

And a quarter of grapefruit too. “Of course, it all looks more than funny,” Melnikova wrote on a social network, posting photos of food at the base.

In addition to 2020 Olympic gold in the team championship, Melnikova, 23, won bronze at the Tokyo Games in the individual all-around and floor exercise, and silver at the 2016 Olympic Games in the team championship. She is the 2021 world champion in the individual all-around.

The Russian Artistic Gymnastics Championship will be held from March 12 to 17 in the federal territory of Sirius.
