Russian athletes

On March 21, the draw for the European Gymnastics Championship, which will be held in Turkey, took place. Gymnasts from Russia and Belarus were not allowed to join it, which excludes their further participation in the competition. This was announced by the senior coach of the Russian national team Valentina Rodionenko.

Sprinter Yegor Kibakin (pictured) was disqualified for 4 years for violating anti-doping rules. This is reported by the press service of the All-Russian Athletics Federation.

Already 34 countries, including the USA, Great Britain and Canada, have opposed allowing Russian and Belarusian athletes to participate in the Olympic Games in 2024. The countries signed a joint statement on this issue.

Mirra Andreeva and Alina Korneeva reached the final.
