About a month ago, gymnast Linoy Ashram made history when she won an Olympic gold medal in Tokyo, after overtaking Russian Dina Avrina.

Immediately after the victory of the Israeli gymnast, in Russia they claimed that it was a pre-addicted battle, and for many days they visited the judging team and attacked the Israeli delegation.

But even today (Wednesday), a little more than a month after Ashram's victory, Russia is still not calming down and continues to attack Israel, but this time for slightly different reasons.

In Russia, it is claimed that the Israeli team in artistic gymnastics will not take part in the world championships to be held in October in Japan, when some of the local commentators did not like it at all.

"It is clear that the Israeli team's decision not to come is related to what happened in Tokyo," said Russian gymnastics team coach Irina Osmanova Wiener.

"Revenge for what happened? People seek revenge when they lose, and that's not really what happened in Tokyo - Dina never lost to Linoy Ashram, that's a lie. In any case, the decision of the Israeli team does not really interest me. Everyone knows what happens within the Israeli team - there There is great chaos, no one agrees with anyone there and this is what it looks like.

"The Israelis are afraid to compete against us," the Russian media added. "They are afraid and that is why the Israeli team chose not to appear for the championship." "Perhaps they were afraid of the reception that would await them after what happened in Tokyo."

"How much more can we talk about the lying Israel?" Said former skater and current coach Tatiana Trasova. "She decided to retire and that's exactly what she did. What can we do about it? Nothing and nothing." "It's simple, Israel is not coming because it is afraid of losing," said local politician Dmitry Svitchev. "Otherwise, if Israel did come, the whole world would see it lose to us, because we are much stronger. In addition, they feared that the scandal in the Olympics would float again, there was a big robbery and they feared it."

"After the Olympics, the athletes need a rest," said one of the greatest Russian gymnasts of all time, Alexei Nemov.

"In my humble opinion, Olympic athletes need a rest of at least half a year after the physical and mental stress they face during competitions. Therefore, I do not think this is such a big story, but rather athletes who want to rest and recover. Talk here about Israel being afraid or afraid to come, "What does she have to fear? We are not at war, on the contrary, the two countries want to become good friends."
