Gymnast Melnikova said she had normal relations with foreign rivals
Olympic champion in artistic gymnastics Angelina Melnikova spoke about communicating with foreign rivals. It is reported by “Match TV”.
“There is communication. Girls write in social networks that they are bored, they ask when they will let us in, whether we will go to the European Championship. The attitude remains the same. Everyone is bored and waiting for us, ”said the Russian woman.
She also noted that any normal athlete is aware of the benefits of competition. “When there is no healthy competition and individual athletes are removed, the competitions become not quite full. I think everyone feels it, ”Melnikova added.
On March 4, 2022, the International Gymnastics Federation suspended Russian athletes from international tournaments held under the auspices of the organization. Judges and officials from Russia are also not allowed to compete.
Melnikova became the Olympic champion in the team competition at the 2020 Tokyo Games. She is also a two-time Olympic bronze medalist in individual disciplines and a silver medal winner in the team tournament at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
