Today is the last day of Russian athletes to appear in their wives, following sanctions imposed as the cause of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, writes Periscope.
Thus, Daniela Batrona, a 15-year-old Ukrainian gymnast, refused to go up to the podium with Russian competitors at the Doha World Cup.
Ukraine won third place in stun exercises, but did not want to share the podium with silver and gold Russians Victoria Listunova and Maria Minaeva during the medal ceremony.
Russian gymnasts competed under the neutral flag because of the measures against Russia.
The UB podium provided in two parties in Doha: 1st time for Batona, 2nd time for the two Russians ! Thank you FIG, for Danielle and Ukraine? Pic.twitter. com/ ON3ar VZosP
