sport.Fr/Other. Olympic rhythmic gymnastics champion Alina Kabaeva has criticized Russia’s withdrawal from world gymnastics.

Recall that many Russian athletes have been suspended from participation in world and European tournaments due to the sanctions imposed on the country in the framework of Russian military special operations in Ukraine.

“We must not forget that this sport was born in our country and so far Russia is a pioneer in rhythmic gymnastics. The absence of Russia in this sport will lead world rhythmic gymnastics to degradation. And we we will develop”, quotes TASS Kabaeva.
