<blockquote>"We welcome the decision of the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) to allow Russian athletes to compete.However, this is not enough. Russian athletes should have the right to compete under their own flag. The monopoly of individual countries on international sports organizations is unacceptable. The involvement of politics in sport destroys it.At the same time,&nbsp; we need to create an international sports system that would be free of politics."</blockquote>
