RRG’s coverage of the Russia Cup gymnastics this week relies entirely on internet access to Russia. Pictures, the scores, broadcast and live streaming, opinion, personal à nd team news.
Yet within Russia these stories are becoming more and more difficult to access. Businesses can’t make à nd receive payments in some cases.
In gymnastics, I have noticed that most of the sources I now refer to are official, rather than the pleasant ongoing bubble of ideas popping up randomly from private social media à nd so on. I am really grateful to those sources who have managed to keep going, as their effort is making it possible for us to see how gymnastics is still developing in Russia.
The changes to Russia are already feeling rather oppressive to me - several thousand miles away.
