Gymnastics team Penalised at CWG 2018 For Mistake In Attire! May We Know Why?
According to the artistic gymnastics rulebook, “The gymnasts must wear a national identification or emblem on the leotard/unitard in accordance with the most recent FIG (International Gymnastics Federation) publicity rules.
After all, Dipa had created hope that India could be a winner someday in gymnastics too – after 52 long years.
But it was shocking to hear that the players also received penalty points as they were not wearing identical leotards during the women’s team final on Friday.
Can you imagine the players’ mental condition if they have to lose points even before they perform and that too for no fault of theirs?
