This video does not show three generations of Russian gymnasts performing together

The video depicts a team of Russian gymnasts who are not related to each other.  The video was shot at the 2010 Acrobatic Gymnastics World Championships.

A video featuring the performance of three Russian female gymnasts has gone viral on social media with the claim that these gymnasts represent three generations from the same family.

The caption of the video states “What a pedigree! Three generations of Russian Gymnasts performing together. Grandmother, mother and daughter. The tallest one is the grandmother! All in gene: Now we know”

The video has been widely shared on Facebook.

Fact Check- 

A Google reverse image search using the key frames from the viral video led us to the longer version of the similar video uploaded on YouTube on 15 November 2013 with the title “Acrobatic Gymnastics World Championships 2010 – Russia Women’s Group 1st place”. 

Keeping this in mind, we analysed the video carefully and found at the beginning of the video, the names of the Russian gymnasts are identified as Aigul Shaikhutdinova, Ekaterina Stroynova, and Ekaterina Loginov. 

 In further search we came across a report that included the same video. According to the report, the performance took place during the 2010 Acrobatic Gymnastics World Championships. 

The trio secured the top position in the women’s group category at the 2010 championship, earning them the first prize. The report does not mention the three individuals being related. Additionally, our search did not yield any information confirming that these gymnasts are indeed from the same family.

According to the Russian Federation for Aerobatics’ record the three gymnasts Aigul Shaikhutdinova, Stroynova, and Loginov were born in 1994, 1987, and 1985, respectively. 

This information confirms that these three gymnasts are not related to each other, as claimed in the post.

Conclusion- 

Fact Crescendo found the claim made along with the video to be False. The video depicts a team of Russian gymnasts who are not related to each other. The video was shot at the 2010 Acrobatic Gymnastics World Championships.
