“Change is needed.” Lipnitskaya supported Plushenko in the issue of refereeing at competitions

Olympic figure skating champion Julia Lipnitskaya who is a coach at the academy Evgenia Plushenko in a social network supported the double Olympic champion, who announced a possible change of sports citizenship by his students.

Plushenko, after the completion of the Russian Youth Championship, said that many skaters from his academy will most likely compete for other countries due to biased refereeing in domestic competitions. In Perm, Plushenko’s student Veronika Zhilina won silver, and Sofya Titova, who performed two triple axels and a quadruple salchow in the free skate, came fourth. Alina Gorbacheva won.

– Every day I see the gigantic work of Plushenko’s angels, which gives absolutely real results. Without fair arbitration, all this work by coaches, children and their parents is meaningless. We need change. I support Yevgeny Viktorovich completely and completely,” Lipnitskaya wrote.
