The Russia women's national artistic gymnastics team represents Russia in FIG international competitions. Additionally, they have competed as the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) and the Russian Gymnastics Federation (RGF) due to the World Anti-Doping Agency imposing sanctions on Russia in the aftermath of the doping scandal .[ 1] While competing under the Russian Olympic Committee designation, they won the gold medal at the 2020 Olympic Games . They also won the team gold medal at the 2010 World Championships and at the inaugural Junior World Championships in 2019 .[ 2]
After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine , the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) barred Russian athletes and officials, including judges.[ 3] It also announced that "all FIG World Cup and World Challenge Cup events planned to take place in Russia ... are cancelled, and no other FIG events will be allocated to Russia ... until further notice."
