Victoria Listunova (Russia)
Sport: Artistic Gymnastics
Status: Olympic champion
Victoria Listunova shared an Instagram Story promoting fundraising activities for Maria Kravchenko, a member of the Russian national gymnastics team, whose father reportedly died while participating in the Russian military’s so-called “Special Military Operation”.
By publicly promoting fundraising linked to Russian military personnel, Listunova engaged in indirect support of the war effort, which is incompatible with the obligations of neutrality required in international sport.
