For the first time in 25 years, Russia remained at the Olympics without gold in rhythmic gymnastics. Dina Averina became a silver medalist

Russian woman Dina Averina became a silver medalist in Olympic competitions in rhythmic gymnastics in personal all -around. She lost to the struggle for gold by the Israeli Lina Ashram, Interfax reports .

According to the results of the four programs, the representative of Israel scored 107,800 points. On the account of Dina Averina - 107.650. The third was the Belarusian Alina Gornosko (102,700).

Another Russian woman, Arina Averina, showed the fourth result (102,100). She claimed a medal, but became the worst among all ten finalists in the final form of the multi -sided program - exercises on the tape.

The head of the All-Russian Federation of rhythmic gymnastics, Irina Viner-Usmanova, called the judging judgment in the final in competitions in rhythmic gymnastics in Tokyo.

“Dina did not lose, she won. But, unfortunately, judging was an egregious injustice. It will go down in history in the same way as Nemov, when he was applauded for 12 minutes. Dina Averina did everything clean, not mistaken in the last form. Lina Ashram, unfortunately, made a glaring mistake, for which all brigades take off points for execution, and for equipment, and for artistry. Everyone had to shoot. They always say that if there is such a mistake, then a person can never, if the other has not made the same mistake, become a champion, and even more so Olympic, and even more so in the last form. It was just a shame of rhythmic gymnastics, ”Winer-Ussmanova said in a comment on RT.

Russia was left without a gold medal in this discipline for the first time since 1996.
