Basically, they decided to go with the explanations given by the Romanian side, that at the time of the acceptance of organisation for the Cluj Rhytmic Challange Cup AIN was still in place, and thus the organizers have the perogative to decide if they abide by the full reinstatement of Russia and Belarus, which came much later.

(Can't believe it worked!!😆 ...actually, knowing FIG, yes, I can. They are expert of side stepping political statements when there is a chance of it going away)

The Romanian Fed was worried this would make them lose next year's Junior Worlds hosting rights...like this is their biggest problem😅

Wonder what will happen at other European competitions, as there has been more pushback by some feds. The Rhytmic Worlds in Frankfurt GER will be, as expected, dramatic....
