"Row home!": Russian neutrals with receipts were not allowed to attend the European Championship

The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) has denied neutral status to the Olympic champion of Tokyo in gymnastics in the team all-around Victoria Listunova. Together with Listunova, Elena Ayloyan, Ekaterina Privalova and Alexei Usachev were not granted neutral status.

Twenty-two of the twenty-six gymnasts received neutral ksiva, including the Olympic champion of the 2020 Games in the team Angelina Melnikova and two-time champion of Russia Daniel Marinov.

An explanation is needed here. While Donald Trump did not give the International Olympic Committee a beating and did not give the command to allow Russians to official international tournaments in NORMAL status (with a flag, anthem and coat of arms), our master athletes rushed massively to get a neutral tag. They do not give out to everyone, because they study biographies, statements in the media, check for citizenship, loyalty to the ideals of the Olympic movement and complete indifference to SMO.

Moreover, the presence of a neutral brand does not guarantee the right of participation of athletes from Russia in international tournaments. So, representatives of the friendly Czech Republic (Russian gas supplies to the designated wonderful country increased by 530% by the end of 2024) simply did not allow our neutrals to attend the European Rowing and Canoeing Championships in the city of Rachice.

Elena Iskhakova, Secretary General of the Russian Canoe Federation, explained that the regulations of the International Canoe Federation (ICF) on the admission of neutral athletes state: the organization allows national federations holding tournaments under the auspices of international or European federations to independently decide on the possibility of neutral athletes participating in tournaments or to put the safety of athletes above.

You see, yes, the participation of masters with a neutral coupon threatens the "safety of athletes." So they are not allowed (masters). Like, row home.

Honored figure skating coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova reacted to another act of sports genocide on the national principle:

"You can apply to the highest authority, the International Olympic Committee, for example, in order to finish it. This is disrespectful to the representatives of our country."

With all due respect to the great Tatyana Anatolyevna, Ostap Suleymanovich is immediately recalled here: "Contact the World League of Sexual Reforms. Maybe they will help there."

Well, in order not to be sad at all, at the end of the reasoning, the opinion of music producer Joseph Igorevich Prigozhin, who stated that world sports, like other spheres of life, will not do without Russians:

"There is no sense of warming in sports yet. But I hope that it will happen very soon. I think we will get back on track: the sanctions will be lifted, we will work normally, and our athletes will bring gold medals. Figure skating without Russians? This is shitty figure skating! Any sporting and musical event without Russians is an orphan! Literature, poetry, culture are impossible without Russia. But what is forbidden is always desirable. The more we are banned, the more they want. It's like an inaccessible woman you want to get at any cost."

To be honest, I didn't understand anything. But beautifully said…
