Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games champion Artur Dalaloyan to not participate in world championship

Champion of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, leading artistic gymnast of the Russian gymnastics team Artur Dalaloyan won’t participate in this year’s world championship.

“I began to fall after the Olympic Games, and it was inevitable. When there were no more emotions and adrenaline, I felt the pain in my leg after the injury. I think I’ll recover before the New Year. I really wanted to perform at the world championship, but there’s no point in going since I’m not in the best shape,” 25-year-old Artur Dalaloyan said, Sport-express.ru reports.

The world championship will take place in Kitakyushu, Japan from October 18 to 24.
