The International Gymnastics Federation said on Friday that Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials would not be permitted to participate in competitions.
Amid international pushback for its attack on Ukraine, Russia has been banned from competitions ranging from gymnastics to cat shows.
The federation previously announced that Russian and Belarusian flags and anthems would not be allowed to be displayed or played at FIG events for the time being. All FIG World Cup, World Challenge Cup and other FIG-sanctioned events that were scheduled to take place in Russia or Belarus were canceled.
The FIFe, in its announcement, said that it was"shocked and horrified" by Russia's invasion. The restrictions extend through May 31, after which they will be reviewed.
