President of the All-Russian Federation of Rhythmic Gymnastics Irina Viner-Usmanova said that the statement of the ministers of sports of 33 countries demanding the suspension of the membership of Russia and Belarus in sports organizations and ban on broadcasting international competitions was expected.
“These are countries that are unfriendly to us. There is nothing surprising in it, nothing new. We weren’t surprised at all. If they decided so, then, it is their decision, moreover, a long-standing one,” she told TASS.
