Olympic figure skating champion Nikita Katsalapov did not answer the question about the cancellation of the Grand Prix stop in Russia in the 2022/23 season.
On Wednesday, it became known that the International Skating Union (ISU) board of directors had not allowed Russia to host the Grand Prix of figure skating in the 2023/24 season.
“It’s not a question for Victoria (Sinitsina) and me,” Katsalapov told reporters.
On Wednesday, Saint Petersburg hosts a concert by Ilya Averbukh, dedicated to the day of the breaking of the blockade of Leningrad. The dancing couple Sinitsina and Katsalapov go up to the song “Cranes”.
In March 2022, the ISU banned Russian and Belarusian speed skaters, short track skaters and figure skaters from competing under the auspices of the organization due to the situation in Ukraine. In June, the ISU congress extended the suspension of Russians and Belarusians.
