Athletistic / Artistic gymnastics. Olympic champion in artistic gymnastics, Russian Angelina Melnikova, criticized the food at the Russian national team’s training base. Gymnasts prepare for the season at the base of Lake Krugloye.
“There has been nothing to eat at the base in recent days – during the coronavirus the quality of food and its variety have significantly decreased. Therefore, I now have to survive on vegetables, although I doubt that the Boiled cabbage is enough for my muscles to recover.
Sad and sad – bring back the past. And a quarter of grapefruit too. Of course, this all sounds more than funny. But now it is like this,” Melnikova wrote on her social media page.
At the beginning of March 2022, the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG), in accordance with the recommendations of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), suspended Russian athletes from participation in international competitions. These sanctions were introduced after the start of a special military operation (SVO) of the Russian armed forces on the territory of Ukraine.
Angelina Melnikova is the Olympic team all-around champion at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo (Japan), as well as the absolute world champion (2021).
