'Like doping or bribery': Judges must've picked Israeli gymnast as winner BEFORE final, legendary Russian coach tells RT

Israel's gymnast taking gold at the Tokyo Olympics despite dropping her ribbon during her routine was a "blatant mistake" of the judges, who may have schemed "to replace Russian athletes on the top," Irina Viner-Usmanova told RT.

The strong accusations from the legendary Russian rhythmic gymnastics coach, whose star pupils have claimed a long list of Olympic titles over the years, come in the wake of Saturday's scandal at the Tokyo Olympics. Israeli gymnast Linoy Ashram took gold, despite having dropped the ribbon during her routine – an obvious mistake that still saw Russia's Dina Averina placed overall second, regardless of her seemingly perfect performance.

"It's a blatant [judging] mistake and a flagrant injustice... which had been planned in advance. A mistake that has nothing to do with clean sport. It's the same thing as doping or bribing the judges," Viner-Usmanova, the head coach of the Russian national team, told RT on Saturday.

"The sort of mistake that the Israeli girl did at the end of her routine under no circumstances leaves any chances of taking the gold. The mistake was blatant... and it wasn't just overlooked," Viner-Usmanova believes. "If you compare [Ashram's] results in the preliminary competitions without this glaring mistake, you'll find that it was practically the same as today, after the glaring mistake."

"Dina Averina, who did this part of the routine flawlessly, had to receive a mark of at least one point above – that's minimum – but she got just 0.7 points more, and then lost just by about 0.2 points," Viner-Usmanova concluded, adding that some unexplained trickery with lower points for difficulty was also occurring in case of the Russian girls.

The controversial outcome marked the first time since 1996 that a Russian rhythmic gymnast will not take home Olympic gold in the individual all-round competition. Viner-Usmanova, who says she never in her life has protested a competition's results, told RT she filed three protests today.

Calling the results an "obvious judging disgrace," Viner-Usmanova said the judges have embarrassed themselves with purposefully taking a Russian athlete off the golden podium in an "unfair and the most disgusting manner."

"I think we should appeal to Thomas Bach [President of the International Olympic Committee], but keeping in mind such judging... I personally think that sports like rhythmic gymnastics will not be part of the Olympic family in the future," she said.

They had to do it in some way, because Russian gymnasts have been claiming gold for years, and had to be taken off the pedestal by other means.

Ashram was totally not to blame for the controversy, Viner-Usmanova said, adding that the Israeli was simply chosen as a tool to dethrone the successful Russian gymnasts.

"Dina Averina will make history as the real Olympic champion, who performed honestly, but was taken down by judges," Viner-Usmanova concluded.

'I am not ready to die': Ukrainian judge claims she has had death threats over Russian gymnastics gold medal scandal at Olympics
https://www.rt.com/sport/531620-gymnastics-judging-tokyo-olympics-russia-israel/

A Ukrainian judge says she has copped death threats for defending an Olympic gold medal decision that was accused of being politically-motivated against Russia, adding that she has been treated "as if I killed someone with a gun."

Elite assessor Lidia Vynogradna had spoken out about the controversial call that denied rhythmic gymnast Dina Averina a gold medal at the Games on Saturday, with the title going to Linoy Ashram despite the Israeli's huge blunder when she dropped the ribbon during her routine.

Vynogradna claimed she had received grim threats from viewers unimpressed with her verdict and said judge Natalia Ieromina had absorbed "the biggest hatred" for being Ukrainian, which she insisted did not make the panel "automatically more biaised towards Russian gymnasts".

Debate around the result has been fierce since Averina tearfully took to the podium following her superb performance in Tokyo, appearing to be in disbelief after impressive Olympic debutant Ashram became the first non-Russian champion since 1996.

"It's difficult to keep silent all the time," announced Vynogradna, describing the response to a one-minute video she made seem "as if I killed somebody with a gun".

"People are wishing me death just because I pointed out an issue which became a real phenomenon at this Olympic Games.

"I was commenting [on] qualification on TV and I noticed in Linoy's routines, even in qualification, that she had [a pivot style] that I never seen in my life.

"The biggest hatred has been received by our judge, Natalia Ieromina, just because she is Ukrainian," added Vynogradna, capitalizing the letters of her nationality.

"As if a Ukrainian passport makes you automatically more biaised towards Russian gymnasts. We appreciate Russian gymnasts – they are great gymnasts and we also respect their coaches and judges.

"Natalia had the hardest job to handle, together with [French judge] Eva Serrano, and I am sure they both did a brilliant job.

"However, the main difference was not on their panel and had nothing to do with the judges – the body difficulty decided the fate of gold medal. And that was just what the judges witnessed.

"Body difficulty is relatively easy to judge and does not have that many 'question marks' as apparatus difficulty."

According to guidelines, gymnasts can include between six and nine body difficulties in their routines, each of which carries an assigned points value.

Legendary figure skating coach Tatiana Tarasova branded the judges responsible for the decision "bandits", while Irina Viner-Usmanova, the head coach of the Russian national team, told RT Sport that the result had been "planned in advance".

Politicians from the Russian State Duma have condemned the outcome and former champion Karolina Sevastyanova questioned the point of the Olympics and athete training when they could fall foul of what she perceived as a decision that had "destroyed the future of sports".

"If we now start rejudging routines, we will definitely count way less in the routines of all the gymnasts," argued Vynogradna. "All judges know that.

"When judging in real time, we don't have slow motion or the possibility to review the element. I am convinced the ranking was correct at the Olympic Games."

Addressing the judges, she said: "You stood for Olympic ideals and for the fair sport. You don't deserve the hatred you now receive. I know all the judges who were at Olympic Games – they are the best representatives of our sport.

"We share great support and respect to each other, even though, indeed, we often discuss and ask why some elements were counted and some were not, but that's fine – that's a dialogue between all of our gymnastics community.

"By the way, I am not ready to die yet – so all the people wishing me death are immediately blocked [on social media]."

In an offer that appeared to contain an element of sarcasm, Vynogradna added: "If anybody would like to speak up as well – I am Ukrainian, so biased in the first place, as always – feel free.

"We can make a video highlighting everybody's difficulty and what made that final difference."

Vynogradna was commended for her level of excellence when she judged at the 2015 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, according to the International Gymnastics Federation.
