Averina gymnasts announced that they would end their career if the Russian team was not admitted to the 2024 Games in Paris
The leaders of the Russian national team in rhythmic gymnastics Arina and Dina Averina on the air of the show on YouTube channel of Nikita Nagorny reported that they would end their careers if the national team was not allowed to participate in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
– What will happen if the news comes out that the Russian team will not take part in the Olympic Games in Paris? Yes, we are ending our careers,” said Arina.
– Before the whole situation, thanks to Arina, we wanted to leave after the Olympics in Paris. She persuaded me – three years about nothing at all. And I thought, okay, we persuaded, we stay. And then everything was blocked for us, and I think: why is this all? When will everything come back so that we can perform normally? I want to leave for a long time, but they don’t let us go, ”Dina added.
Dina Averina is a silver medalist at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, an 18-time world champion and a 10-time European champion. Her twin sister Arina is a 5-time world champion and 9-time European champion.
On August 13, the athletes will turn 24 years old. The 2024 Summer Games are scheduled to take place in Paris from July 26 to August 11.
