 It's official!

As part of the recent FIG Executive Committee Meeting, which was held on the 10th and 11th of July in Lausanne, three nationality changes were approved. These included:

  • Junior Rhythmic Gymnast Stephanie Drositis whom previously represented France, and who will now represent Great Britain.
  • Ignacio Yockers (former USA). Yockers competes for the Oklahoma Sooners and will represent Spain internationally, having recently competed at the Spanish National Championships, where he finished second in the All Around and on the Parallel Bars and won the title on the Pommel Horse.
  • And one of the previously most speculated nationality changes, which has now been made official - Illia Kovtun will now represent Croatia, having represented Ukraine in the past.
