Leaders of the Russian rhythmic gymnastics team Arina and Dina Averine live broadcast on Nikita Nagorny’s YouTube channel announced that they would end their careers if the national team was not allowed to participate in the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
– What will happen if we learn that the Russian team will not participate in the Paris Olympics? Yes, we are ending our careers,” Arina said.
– Before all this situation, thanks to Arina, we wanted to leave after the Paris Olympics. She persuaded me – three years for nothing. And I thought, okay, we’re sure, we’re staying. And then everything just froze for us, and I’m like, why is this all? When will everything be back so we can play normally? I wanted to leave for a long time, but they won’t let us go,” Dina added.
Dina Averina is a silver medalist at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, 18 times world champion and 10 times European champion. Her twin sister Arina is 5 times world champion and 9 times European champion.
On August 13, the athletes will be 24 years old. The 2024 Summer Games will take place in Paris from July 26 to August 11.
