Gymnasts Protest Russian Anthem

Publication by EssentiallySports | May 30, 2026 | Edition #545 |
Hey Athletic Fans,
Today, a bunch of junior gymnasts didn’t seem happy at a podium presentation ceremony and what they did in response to it has the entire gymnastics world talking. We also have an Olympian questioning a bizarre detail reportedly there in his new contract, an athlete facing DQ calls from fans, and more in today’s edition.

The protest comes a couple weeks after World Gymnastics lifted all restrictions on Russian and Belarusian athletes.
