Russian woman Dina Averina apologized for not being able to contain her emotions after the marks in the final of the ribbon exercise at the Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships in Japan. She is quoted by Match TV.
“In my life I don’t behave like that and I never swear! It was actually on emotions, and now I am very ashamed. I just shouldn’t have behaved like that, but, unfortunately, I could not cope with myself. I was so ashamed, ”said the athlete. She added that she had not fully recovered from the incident at the Tokyo Olympics, but this should not have caused her aggression.
At the World Championships held in Japan, Dina Averina won five gold medals and one silver medal. Now she has 18 victories at the world championships in her career. The athlete has surpassed the record of her compatriot Evgenia Kanaeva, who has 17 gold medals.
Averina won the only silver at the World Cup in the exercise with a ribbon, passing ahead of the representative of Belarus Alina Gornosko. After that, the Russian woman compared the defeat at the World Cup and at the Olympics, calling the refereeing unfair.
At the Tokyo Olympics, the winner in the individual all-around was Israeli Lina Ashram, who beat Dina Averina. At the same time, the representative of Israel dropped the object during her last speech, which sparked talk in Russia about unfair refereeing.
