The United States imposed sanctions against Olympic gymnastics champion Nikita Nagorny
The United States has added Russian Olympic champion in artistic gymnastics Nikita Nagorny to its sanctions list. This was reported on the website of the US Department of the Treasury.
The 27-year-old athlete was included in a list of more than 30 individuals and 200 legal entities from Russia, China and other countries. The sanctions were imposed due to the assistance of the listed persons of the SVO.
Earlier, another country, Canada, imposed sanctions against Nagorny. The decision came into force on September 20, 2023.
Nagorny won gold at the Tokyo Olympics in team exercises, and he is also a silver medalist in this discipline at the 2016 Games. In addition, the Russian has two bronze medals at the 2020 Olympic Games in individual competitions. Since December 2020, Nagorny has headed the All-Russian children and youth movement “Yunarmiya”.
