Multiple world and European rhythmic gymnastics champions Dinah and Arina Averine supported the Latvian gymnast on the social network Elisabeth Polstyanaya who was not allowed to participate in the 2022 World Cup.
Earlier, the athlete said that she was not allowed to participate in the Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships in Bulgaria. Polstyanaya was born in Latvia, but grew up in Russia. She obtained Latvian citizenship in 2018 and has since represented the country in international competitions.
How do we understand you. Wait, when you leave you will understand that life does not end there, ”the Averins wrote in the comments to the publication of Poltyanaya.
The world championship will take place in Sofia (Bulgaria) from September 12 to 18.
Since the spring, Russian and Belarusian representatives of all member sports of the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) have been suspended from competition until further notice.
