MOSCOW, Sep 28 The Ukrainian Gymnastics Federation decided not to participate in the next congress The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) due to the admission of delegations from Russia and Belarus to the forum, according to the official website of the organization. The FIG Congress is to be held on November 11-12, 2022 in Istanbul (Turkey). Earlier, FIG announced that in 2022 the congress would not be able to take place in Sandefjord (Norway) in October, as the Norwegian Gymnastics Federation was unable to organize it due to requirements from the Olympic Committee and the Ministry of Culture of Norway not to invite representatives of Russia and Belarus to events in the country. «The Ukrainian Gymnastics Federation reiterates its position that not only athletes from Russia and Belarus, but also any other officials representing these countries in FIG, should be excluded from participation in FIG sports events,» the statement said.
