World Gymnastics is an international sports organization that imposed restrictions on Russian and Belarusian gymnasts following geopolitical events, later lifting these sanctions in May 2026. The organization reinstated full rights for Russian athletes, allowing them to compete with their national flags and anthems at international competitions. However, some national organizers have reportedly disregarded this decision, leading to tensions over the use of national symbols during events. Despite World Gymnastics' official stance, enforcement has been inconsistent across different countries.
