Scandal in rhythmic gymnastics. They want to take away the passport for performances in Russia from the athletes

Elvira Krasnobaeva may suffer. At the first stage of the Cup of the strongest in rhythmic gymnastics in Moscow, there were enough gymnasts from different countries. These athletes have repeatedly performed in Russia after removal, so the list of participants did not raise questions. This tournament is positioned as international, so they took place in the finals according to the rules – two gymnasts from the country. Obviously, in such competition it was most difficult for the Russians. The interesting situation happened to Elvira Krasnobaeva. This gymnast was a confident third number of the Bulgarian national team, but in this off -season with a scandal left the national team. Initially, she planned to play for Armenia, but the federation did not comment on this decision. As a result, Elvira appeared at the Moscow Grand Prix and advocated Russia as part of the Association “Heavenly Grace”.Denis Gladkov, Sport24e the results were disappointing, it is clear that while adaptation is difficult to give her. At the Cup of the strongest Krasnobaeva, she shocked everyone because she appeared in the tournament under the flag of Bulgaria. Thanks to this, she was able to get into the finals and win silver in the exercise with the hoop. After her departure from the national team, the rules were clearly spelled out, according to which the gymnast could not use anything from her team, even production and form. The president of the federation reacted quite sharply Iliana Raeva: “There is no permission. There is a slightly strange situation. We immediately sent a letter to the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) and the Russian Federation. There is such a moment that Russia is currently not allowed by the World Headquarters (FIG) and the International Olympic Committee, and they hold competitions with some rules that are out of reach of FIG. We still do not know how it happened, but for Bulgaria she cannot participate in competitions. This is not normal. What depended on us … Now it depends on their morality and their laws. I do not expect any fines. All we want is to pick up a Bulgarian passport from her. This is a difficult procedure, but Elvira Krasnobaeva received a passport because she is a good gymnast and has great chances at the world level. Her family has no citizenship. These arguments were to obtain her passport, and the actions that they took to leave the country in this way … it is 100% product of Bulgarian gymnastics. Her passport was issued to her to participate in competitions for Bulgaria. ”YouTube.com, many were a serious question of how the gymnast can represent another country if it is not a member of the national team. Some tournaments can be reported by citizenship. This was used by many gymnasts who continued training in Russia after removal and could not get into national teams. Then they took part in our tournaments from other countries, and it is not necessary to notify the federation in this case. It is logical that the situation of Krasnobaeva is completely different. Elvira is a high -level gymnast, now she could bring Bulgaria medals, but refused it, she also left the team in the best way. Already this year it is noticeable that the sports form of the athlete has worsened, and it is not known how these events will affect her.
