Russian gymnasts refused to participate in international competitions

The Russian gymnasts who received a neutral status refused to perform at international tournaments. This was announced on April 5 by the Russian Gymnastics Federation.

"All Russian athletes representing sports and rhythmic gymnastics who have received a "neutral status" have decided to refrain from participating in upcoming competitions under the auspices of the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG). The reason for this decision is the numerous unjustified and biased refusals by the FIG special committee to allow our gymnasts and gymnasts to compete," the statement said.
