- Athletistic / Others. President of the Russian Artistic Gymnastics Federation Vasily Titov spoke about participation in international tournaments with a neutral status.
“My position, supported by the Russian Ministry of Sports, is that in any case we must find opportunities for our athletes to participate in international competitions, even in neutral status, this is important and we must move in this direction. We hear a lot of different reproaches, but we must understand that our athletes did not refuse the flag and the anthem, they were deprived of this right, this is a career and life for them,” Titov quotes.
Russian gymnasts did not participate in the Paris Olympics.
