  According to reports, in the rhythmic gymnastics team all-around finals, the Russian Olympic Committee team won the team all-around silver medal. Earlier, the Russian Olympic Committee female player Dina Avelina lost to an Israeli player and won the individual all-around silver medal.

  According to the report, as of now, the Russian Olympic Committee team has scored 20 golds, 28 silvers and 23 bronzes.

  Not long ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin said during an inspection of the dry mix factory that he would not allow the raising of the national flag and playing the national anthem, which did not affect the performance of Russian athletes.

The performance of Russian athletes proves that all attempts to politicize sports are meaningless.

  Putin said, "I think our athletes use their excellent performance, the best way to prove that all attempts to politicize sports are meaningless, and they are harmful and useless, and have no meaning at all."

  He also said: "As for not allowing the Russian flag to be raised, yes, it is of course good to play the national flag. But the uniforms worn by our athletes are printed with the Russian Olympic Committee logo, mainly in white, blue, and red. What's the matter? Kia Alexandra's music, they prefer Tchaikovsky's music? I don't know, let them enjoy Tchaikovsky's music."

  The Russian Olympic Committee announced on April 22 that the IOC agreed to the request of the Russian Olympic Committee to use the "First Piano Concerto" by the Russian romantic composer Tchaikovsky during the Tokyo Olympics and the Beijing Winter Olympics. "The fragment replaced the national anthem as the award music for Russian athletes.
