Russian athlete and Tokyo Games individual rhythmic gymnastics silver medallist Dina Averina said that she filed appeals in response to the points awarded to her at the competition, at a press conference on Saturday, in the Japanese capital.
A reporter asked Averina if she felt that the points that she received were not as fair as she thought they should be or whether her drills were better than the score she got.
The athlete replied that the judges had judged her performance strangely.
"The judging was very strange today and that's why we lodged appeals. Because we did a lot more than planned and got a much lower score. So we had to lodge a complaint. Unfortunately, not all of them were considered. Some were approved, some were not," said the gymnast.
After the competition, Averina called the judging unfair. She also expressed confidence that the situation would not be forgotten: "Everything that happened today will remain for a lifetime. People will definitely talk about it, I'm sure. I want to say that the most important thing is that my conscience is clear."
On Saturday, Averina won silver in the rhythmic gymnastics individual all-around. Lina Ashram of Israel got the gold medal, with 0.150 points ahead of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC). Averina's sister Arina was the fourth, losing to Alina Gornosko of Belarus.
