A few weeks later, the FIG banned all Russian and Belarusian Athletes due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. [15] As of March 2024, she and her Russian teammates could only compete in domestic competitions, which prevented them from qualifying Spots for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Although they could’ve qualified 1 Spot and compete under neutral status if they’d meet certain criteria from the IOC. [16] This will be the first Olympics without Russian Gymnasts since 1984. [17]
