"Linoy Ashram's ability is phenomenal, it was amazing to see how she blossomed in the moment of truth. Bravo Linoy that you made history for your country, even without blinking," wrote former Russian gymnast and current TV presenter Yassan Utyasheva, and angered another past gymnast, Alina Kabayeva who participated in two Olympics And the one who was reportedly secretly married to Vladimir Putin.

"She speaks? She has never achieved a gold medal for her country," Kabayeva said. "Not at the European Championships, not at the World Championships or the Olympics. In addition, she was not even part of the team at the Olympics. Therefore, she has no right to comment at all on the scandal and omission that was in the final with the referee. As for Ashram, she deserves all the respect. "And she's not guilty of it. She just did what she had to do."

Kabayeva continued: "Indeed, the Olympic Committee made a dangerous move, which may change the history of gymnastics, when the judges can declare a winner who made a mistake in the final. What happened is not related to sports. Today we saw that you can win with the judges. "This case is different. There was injustice here and it seemed that the whole purpose of the judges was to prevent the gold medal from Russia."

"Not related to sports."

"What happened there has nothing to do with politics and if Ashram has a drop of respect left, she should return the medal," said journalist Margarita Simonian.

"The judges are human scum, they literally dragged her by the hair in the first place, after all someone who made such a gross mistake can't win gold."

"How the hell did someone who made a mistake win a gold medal?" Said former skater Tatiana struggled.

"Where are the judges? Where is the sports spirit? It's just a shame for the Olympics and the refereeing team, which in one moment shatters the dreams of young gymnasts. Our girls performed perfectly, led throughout the competition and ended up finishing second and fourth. How does it make sense to win gold "A mistake, while the one that won the money made a perfect performance? It's not fair! Girls, you are perfect and the whole world has seen it. For us, you have won gold."

Should have won gold?

Dina Avrina was better than Linoy Ashram, "said former gymnast Elia Mustafina, who won seven Olympic medals, including two golds." I do not really understand that, but it seemed clear that Dina was much better.

"She had fewer mistakes and I think she should have won gold."

It was clear that something was wrong with the judging panel, "added former skater Yevgenia Medvedev, who won two Olympic medals.

"This is not a one-time mistake, it is already a regular pattern. Dina recorded a perfect performance and I do not think she should have finished in second place, but in first place. I hope Dina and Arena will overcome what happened soon, although it is not easy. This is a tragedy for them, no. "

Angry.

As you may recall, as early as yesterday, they began attacking the judges in Russia after Ashram's victory. According to Russian claims, the International Olympic Committee continues to settle accounts with them. Vitaly Milonov, Member of Parliament, especially did not like the results of the artistic gymnastics and sharply attacked the competition. The Russian parliamentarian, chairman of the Gymnastics Association, was furious and said: "It does not make sense, how did Ashram get such a high score?"

"The Israeli woman appeared in a disgusting way!", He said, "It is a shame to watch it at all! This is not athletics, but artistic gymnastics. The Russians would not forgive this thing. I think the Israeli should refuse to accept the result, this is the only option. Anything else would be a shame. She won unfairly. "

Dina Avrina, who finished in second place, also complained about the judging and said:" The judging was not fair. "

The chairman of the Russian Gymnastics Association Irina Wiener-Osmanova (Elishar's wife, who was once one of the owners of Arsenal), was furious and said: "It's chaos! It can not be! Everyone is tired of our gold medals? I think so. We had a more or less worthy opponent "But that's all. The girl from Israel received the same score yesterday in the qualifiers and in the final, even though in the final she made such a big mistake. Here is the answer to all your questions."

Russian Sports Minister Oleg Matitsin said: "Congratulations to Dina Avria on the silver medal at the Olympics. Our athlete showed the character of a true champion and performed exercises at the highest level. All of Russia encouraged Dina and Arina Avrina today. I think everyone who watched the competition today has many questions about "It's not a coincidence that so many appeals were filed today against the judging decisions, it came from athletes from several different countries. For us, Dina Avrina is the true champion of the competition, she deserved gold."
