Ukrainian gymnast Ilya Kovtun withdrew from the “Final Six” of Serie A because of Russian Artur Dalaloyan admitted to the competition.

" We have decided not to participate in these competitions.. Ilya will not be able to compete on the same platform with a representative from Russia,"

Recall that on February 24, Russian President Putin made an urgent statement about conducting a special military operation on the territory of Ukraine, launching a large-scale invasion of Ukrainian cities..

After that, Russian sports began to plunge into complete isolation..

There are practically no federations left that have not excluded the Russians from their competitions.

The International Gymnastics Federation suspended the competitions of Russian and Belarusian gymnasts, but this decision does not apply to other tournaments organized not under the auspices of the FIG (everything here is at the discretion of the competition organizers).
