Rudkovskaya spoke harshly about judging at junior figure skating competitions in Russia

Down-the-line.com / Figure Skating. Well-known producer Yana Rudkovskaya, wife of two-time Olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko, spoke about refereeing at youth competitions. Earlier, Plushenko criticized the refereeing and said his students can move on to other teams because they are treated like that.

Rudkovskaya supported her husband and said it was wrong to accuse young skaters of betraying the country when changing citizenship.

“Regarding Evgeni Plushenko’s statement regarding the refereeing of our girls and, in general, the overall attitude towards our athletes.

Rudkovskaya: “Evgeny expressed the desire of the parents of the students, and not his own”

First, I absolutely, unconditionally and completely agree with Zhenya’s words.

Secondly, it is simply despicable to force children to fight not only with rivals, but also for justice! With adults! It’s already outdated.

We have endured a long time. Besides, I would say this: we would have suffered more. But children and parents are already tired. We don’t ask for anything, we pay for our own ice, for the children’s tickets, for the costumes, for the programs, for their accommodation in comfortable conditions, for all their trips to the competitions! Our school and our sponsors pay! Because we are a private school and they don’t help us! And we will fight to the end for every child, for their victories and dreams!” Rudkovskaya wrote on her telegram channel.
