Athletistic/ Figure Skating. State Duma Deputy Irina Rodnina reacted to Evgeni Plushenko’s words that skaters in his group can change sports citizenship.
Rodnina reminded that the athletes themselves do not solve these problems. Permission to transfer and change citizenship can only be given by officials of the organizations concerned.
“Decisions to change nationality in order to play for another country or in a neutral status will not be made by Plushenko or even by athletes, but above all by higher authorities. I can fully believe that Plushenko said that on emotions. Well, what are we now to grasp emotions, “said Rodnina, whose words are quoted RBC Sports.
