The President of the All-Russian Federation of Rhythmic Gymnastics (VFKhG) Irina Viner said that her successor as the president of the All-Russian Federation of Rhythmic Gymnastics (VFKhG) could be Olga Kapranova, a multiple world champion in this sport. She announced this at the celebration of her 76th birthday in Abkhazia. The leader’s words are reported by Sputnik Abkhazia.

“I think he will take the baton from me in the future and at the same time be a very good leader for the federation,” Wiener said.

Kapranova, 36, a board member of WFHG, described Wiener as magnificent.

“I’m glad to have him in my life and to have fallen into the hands of such a great coach when I was just a kid,” the former gymnast replied.

Kapranova played for the Russian national team from 2003 to 2009. At the 2005 World Championships she managed to win five gold medals.

On March 4, 2022, the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) decided to ban Russians and Belarusians from participating in competitions under its auspices due to the situation in Ukraine.

The ban on participation in FIG-sponsored tournaments was lifted on January 1, 2024, but Wiener stated that he would not allow athletes to compete without national qualifications.
