President of the All-Russian Rhythmic Gymnastics Federation Irina Vigner in an interview with a correspondent, she commented on the transfer of Elizaveta Lugovskikh to the Montenegrin national team.
“She has been doing this for a long time. Even before the special operation. Lugovskikh is a good girl, but she never reached the base of the Russian national team. We calmly let the Lugovskys go, because she was not interested the Russian team. Her father lives in Montenegro, she moved to his house, she got citizenship. Earlier, we had a situation with a change of nationality with Ekaterina Vedeneeva, who played for Slovenia in the Olympics, Viner told .
Earlier, the International Rhythmic Gymnastics Federation announced that Lugovskikh will play for the Montenegrin national team. The 22-year-old made her senior international debut in 2017, winning silver in the Irina Deleanu Cup all-around.
