2022 Russian Championships Results | The Gymternet

The 2022 Russian Championships were held from April 6 through April 10 in Kazan, Russia.

On February 24, Russia began its senseless invasion of Ukraine and has since committed a litany of war crimes and other human rights atrocities, including the murder of innocent civilians like 11-year-old rhythmic gymnast Kateryna Dyachenko, who was killed in a bombing while sheltering in her home in Mariupol, a once beautiful coastal city that has been under siege since the start of the war and is now almost completely decimated.

Russian athletes, including many of your favorite gymnasts like 2020 Olympic champions Viktoria Listunova and Vladislava Urazova, are being used as pawns by the Russian government to drum up support for the war. Then there are others, like Nikita Nagornyy, who are outwardly pro-war, speaking comfortably from his home while Ukrainian athletes he used to compete with have lost loved ones and been drafted to fight against the invaders.

Currently, the FIG has banned Russian and Belarusian athletes from competing at FIG-sponsored events, and though athletes have been allowed to continue outside of the FIG, we are starting to see individual backlash, including TG Saar dropping Nagornyy from its Bundesliga team in light of what he has commented on social media and to the press.

I have also personally decided to not cover Russia’s national championships in the traditional sense of sharing live blogs or additional content. Even though many Russian athletes have not personally voiced their support of Putin or the war, I do not want to promote any of Russia’s successes right now, and that includes gymnastics. However, many have reached out and asked if I would still provide transliterated results, and so as a compromise, I will be sharing all results on this page, and will be donating any ad-generated income for the month of April to Project C.U.R.E. and World Central Kitchen.

If you are engaging with Russian-centered gymnastics content, please consider donating to these and other charities providing help on the ground in Ukraine as well as to those who have been displaced.
