Athletistic/Figure Skating. Latvian figure skater Denis Vasiliev, who took fifth place at the European Figure Skating Championships in Espoo, Finland, assessed the level of the tournament without the participation of Russians.

Shcherbakova did not receive the ISU award in the “Most Valuable Skater” nomination, he was received by Chen

“The European Championship in Finland was a bit different from usual. Due to the fact that there were no Russian athletes, it was more interesting from a sporting point of view. Let me explain to you Russian athletes in figure skating are still among the leaders in Europe, maybe not so pronounced in my discipline, but in general, even now the whole balance of power has changed accordingly, the situation was , therefore, more interesting.

The return of Russian athletes? Yes, I have an opinion on that. Knowing what is currently happening in the world and remembering the doping case of the Russian figure skater Valieva at the Beijing Games, it would be difficult for me to say “yes, let’s go skating together”. I don’t think there is such a sense of security and belief that if they are allowed to participate in the Olympics, everything will be fine and everything will be in line with the Olympic values. Time has to pass, everyone has to breathe and look at what happened and understand the situation, and only then can we start talking about it and discussing it. At the moment, no, I don’t support it,” Sportacentrs Vasiliev quotes.

Shcherbakova’s mother reacted to the information that Anna did not win the ISU award
