Ukraine Calls For Emergency Congress After Controversial FIG Rule Change
The Ukrainian Gymnastics Federation has called for an emergency congress following the FIG's decision to lift restrictions on Russian and Belarusian athletes. This decision allows these athletes to compete with their national flags and anthems, which the UGF argues contradicts ethical principles and creates discrimination against Ukrainian athletes. The federation claims this puts Ukrainian gymnasts in an unbearable position regarding their patriotic duty versus moral conflict.
- ▪The FIG voted to lift all restrictions on Russian and Belarusian athletes on May 18, 2026.
- ▪The UGF condemned the decision, stating it contradicts the ethical principles of sport.
- ▪Ukrainian athletes now face pressure to choose between representing their country or withdrawing due to moral conflicts.
