Claim 2: “Russian athletes are participating in the tournament with no national insignia.”

DISPUTED

There is a direct contradiction in the evidence. A TASS cross-reference states athletes will participate with no national insignia, while a web search result regarding the Milan World Cup mentions that World Gymnastics reversed restrictions on May 16-17, 2026, allowing Russian athletes to compete with full national symbols.
