The president of the International Gymnastics Federation has paid a visit to Ukraine for talks with senior political figures amid a standoff over Russian athletes’ eligibility for Olympic qualifying events.
FILE - An athlete reaches for the rings during competition in artistic gymnastics at the 2020 Summer Olympics, Monday, Aug. 2, 2021, in Tokyo, Japan. Created to help protect athletes after the USA Gymnastics sexual abuse scandal, the sports international investigations agency has set new safeguarding standards with a view to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
The visit came four days after the International Olympic Committee recommended that international sports governing bodies like the FIGas neutrals without national symbols as qualifying for the Paris Olympics ramps up. They would remain excluded from team sports and athletes who are members of the Russian military would be barred, under IOC recommendations. The IOC says it hasn't made a final decision about the Olympics.
Ukraine is lobbying international sports federations such as Watanabe's FIG, which have the final say on whether to implement the IOC's recommendations for their own events. The FIG has excluded Russian and Belarusian gymnasts from competitions since March 2022 and extended that measure “until further notice” last month.
