Athletistic / Artistic gymnastics. Svetlana Khorkina, two-time Olympic champion in artistic gymnastics, commented on the situation regarding the possible trip of Russian gymnasts to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris (France). We learned earlier that the Russians had lost their chance to qualify for the Games.

The Russians did not participate in two stages of the World Cup, they also missed the third qualifying stage, which began in Baku (Azerbaijan).

Thus, the Russians no longer have any chance of qualifying for the Paris Games.

“As for the situation in which our gymnasts lost the opportunity to qualify for the Olympics, it is better to ask the guys. I can say one thing: come to the Russian Championship from March 13 to 17 in Sirius. The best gymnasts of the world will be there, the current Olympic champions of the team championship in Tokyo: I see no reason to be sad, the main start from Russia is ahead.

Now they are doing everything to make our athletes feel good – Olympic bases, specialists, national teams are working according to their plans. Those who cannot and are tired can make room for another athlete,” Khorkina quotes in the “Championship”.
