According to Wiener, they abandoned the sport because Russian athletes were not allowed to participate in the Olympic Games under their flag. Previously, the International Olympic Committee decided to allow Russians to compete in neutral status.
“At the Russian Championship, there was a serious battle between our new stars. They have matured and now compete among themselves in the absence of Dina and Arina Averin, who will no longer participate in competitions. They ended their careers sports because we refused to participate in the Olympic Games under a white flag.
This is the general decision of the council of coaches and athletes, accustomed to performing when the Russian national flag is raised in honor of their victories. Now our attention turns to national competitions,” Wiener was quoted as saying by the press service of the Russian Olympic Committee.
