Irina Viner, the President of the Russian Rhythmic Gymnastics Federation, has invited top Indian gymnast Ananya Garikipati to train with her in Moscow.
In response to the Indian gymnast's remarks about her, Viner said: "I read your note. I invite her to the national team to train for free at any time."
Interestingly, this will not be the first time Garikipati will undergo training under a Russian coach.
Previously, she received guidance from 2008 Olympic gold medalist Anna Gavrilenko.
Notably, Garikipati came into the spotlight in 2019 after she became the first Indian rhythmic gymnast to clinch a gold medal at the Junior Star Rhythmic Gymnastics Championship held in the Russian capital.
