Italian gymnast Milena Baldassarri said she misses competing with Russian athletes in international tournaments.
“The absence of Russian and Belarusian gymnasts at international tournaments? Of course, this is felt, the strongest in the world, both in school and in gymnasts. I miss them because I can’t see each other, ”says the Italian “Pair TV”.
Let us remind you that on February 28, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) appealed to sports federations and recommended that they not allow local and Belarusian athletes to participate in any competitions. After that, a number of sports organizations excluded Russians from the list of participants in international competitions.
On March 4, the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) decided to ban Russians and Belarusians from participating in competitions under its auspices from March 7, due to the situation in Ukraine.
