An inflatable doll swimming race has been banned by authorities in Krasnoyarsk.
Some say the event was called off by health officials who deemed the water in the Yenisei River not clean enough.
Other media reports state that the decision was taken by local authorities as they considered the event inappropriate.
The competition, called Baba Gum Open Water, was set to take place for the first time in Krasnoyarsk.
Inflatable doll races have already been held in St. Petersburg and Novosibirsk. To enter, swimmers only needed to bring their own dolls and life jackets.
