Russian hockey player "Washington Capitals" Alexander Ovechkin said that he was offended by the fact that at the Olympic competitions in rhythmic gymnastics, domestic athletes were content with only silver medals.


“Have I watched the Tokyo Olympics?

Only a few points since I had training.

Our team showed a good result.

And this despite the fact that there were disqualifications.

If the full squad came to the Olympics, there would be more medals.

Did you catch a special moment?

Well, of course.

Our girls were given only silver in rhythmic gymnastics, not gold.

Personally, I was a little offended, "the Match TV website quotes Ovechkin's words.

Russian Dina Averina became the second in the individual all-around, losing gold to Israeli Lina Ashram, who lost her apparatus in the ribbon exercise.

Also, the Russian national team for the first time since 2000 lost the Olympic gold in the group all-around.

Earlier, the physiotherapist of the Israeli national team said that Ashram was the best at the Olympics.
