The head of the All-Russian Artistic Gymnastics Federation, Ira Viner, spoke today (Saturday) to the press in her country and said that she thinks that Russian athletes will not compete in the Olympic Games in Paris in less than two years.
"I don't think that in 2024 it will be possible for Russian athletes to reach the Olympics, considering what's happening, but that's what people think, but in the end only God decides and many more things can happen along the way," said Viner.
When asked about the Olympic Games in Los Angeles 2028, she added: "On the one hand, it is still just around the corner. But we are in artistic gymnastics, in no way have we slowed down, on the contrary, we have made a new program for our athletes, and they are advancing twice or even twice Three faster than in the international arena."
Weiner added: "If the Ministry of Sports, the government and our president subsidize sports as they did when we participated in the Olympic Games, I think everything will be fine. In competition with each other, you can show the same results," said the optimistic Weiner.
It should be remembered that in artistic gymnastics the Olympic criterion has already begun, when in the World Championships tickets were distributed to the first three places and if they do not participate in the World Championships next year, it will be really difficult to see how they will get their free ticket to compete in the upcoming Olympic Games.
