Rebellion in gymnastics? Athletes express dissatisfaction with the actions of the Federation's leadership.

Three gymnasts - Nazar Chepurny, Volodymyr Kostiuk, and Ivan Rudi - expressed their indignation towards the leadership of the Gymnastics Federation of Ukraine over corruption and a ban on leaving for international competitions.

The federation's vice-president, Stella Zakharova, denied the accusations, assuring that she has never prohibited athletes from traveling abroad.

However, other gymnasts shared their stories that contradict Zakharova's words. Nazariy Chepurny shared his own experience of obtaining permission to travel to international competitions. His performance at the World Cup in Hungary was canceled due to Stella Zakharova's decision. The gymnast talked about threats and being barred from upcoming competitions.

Volodymyr Kostiuk also protests against Zakharova's statements. He recounted that they were not allowed to travel to the World Cup in Hungary because it was deemed inappropriate.

Ivan Rudi also shared a story related to the ban on traveling to Germany imposed by Stella Zakharova.

Earlier, Oleg Vernyayev accused the leadership of the Gymnastics Federation of Ukraine of corruption. Zakharova is the vice-president of the federation.
