Trankov declined to comment on Plushenko’s remarks about the skaters’ possible change of nationality

Double Olympic champion of the Sochi Games Maxim Trankov deemed it unethical to comment on his colleague’s statement Evgenia Plushenko on the possible change of citizenship of their skaters.

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.

– It’s unethical. We are colleagues with him, so I will not talk,” Trankov told Vprognoze.ru.

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.
