Yana Rudkovskaya, producer and co-owner of the Angela Plushenko Academy, posted a message in support of her husband Evgenia Plushenko who complained about the refereeing at the Russian championship, noting that she and her husband have the right to “fight for honest children’s sports”.
Veronika Zhilina from the Angela Plushenko Academy took second place at the Russian Championship in Perm, another student of Plushenko, Sofya Titova, was fourth. After the competition, Plushenko said that many skaters from his academy were likely to compete for other countries due to biased refereeing in domestic competitions. As reported by , the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) will disregard Plushenko’s words to comply with the organization’s code of ethics.
– The code of ethics is correct, wonderful. But I have two questions. First: how then to fight, how then to talk about the problem? Certainly not? That is, you have to shut up, swallow? There should always be a constructive dialogue between the federation, the coaches and the athletes.
Second: why, when some break the code, they get away with it, but for others, a howl immediately rises? Commentators sometimes allow too much, choreographer Zheleznyakov constantly insults athletes. And for the others – for us, the people who fight for junior children’s sports, who invest their personal funds in children’s sports – it is impossible to speak of justice. And yes, let me remind you that we invest personal money in athletes. The school is entirely financed by our private investment. But despite this, my husband and I continue to fight for fair sports for children.
And yes, I’m sorry, but if already Tatyana Anatolyevna Tarasova okay, that means Evgeny is definitely right, something needs to be changed in the system in which an athlete who falls from a quadruple arc (from an understandable seat) in a jumping tournament wins over our athlete who made a clean quadruple salchow. Double standards, dishonesty and cruelty lead to violation of the child’s psyche and breakdowns. No sports.
And why, again, can we cross over to other countries and make secret transitions? Some are quietly skipping the season now, they will quietly move on, while others just say – start judging honestly, and all strong athletes will stay here. Here is something, and you certainly cannot doubt it! — wrote Rudkovskaya in the Telegram channel .
