Tatareva assessed the conditions for admission of Russians to the Olympic Games with the phrase “inequality exists”
Olympic champion in rhythmic gymnastics Anastasia Tatareva commented on the conditions for admission of Russians to the 2024 Games. Her words are quoted by “Championship”.
Tatareva assessed the conditions put forward by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) with the phrase “inequality exists.” She noted that she was sad and offended because single gymnasts received a chance to perform at the Olympic Games, unlike the team in group exercises.
On December 8, 2023, the IOC announced the admission of Russians and Belarusians to the 2024 Olympics. They will be able to take part in the tournament as individual neutral athletes. At the same time, athletes who support a special operation in Ukraine and have connections with the armed forces or security agencies of Russia and Belarus will not get to Paris. Representatives of team sports will also miss the Olympics.
On December 1 of the same year, the General Assembly of the European Gymnastics Union banned Russians and Belarusians from participating in tournaments. Athletes will not be able to take part in European competitions from January 1, 2024, contrary to the decision of the International Gymnastics Federation.
