Down-the-line.com / Figure Skating. Honorary President of the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR), Valentin Piseev, shared his opinion on the judgment. Previously, refereeing in Russia had been harshly criticized by two-time Olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko.

“Refereeing in figure skating is subjective and will always cause controversy. But it is not in vain that they say that the truth is born in disputes. Referees simply need to take a more responsible approach to their work and be more open.

The level of judges in Russia is generally very high. Especially compared to other countries. It’s just that the level of those who are interested in figure skating is much higher here than abroad.

Sometimes, reading journalistic articles and even fan posts on social media, I am amazed at how immersed their authors are in the subject. Such competence of the supporters imposes an additional responsibility on the referees”, RIA Novosti quotes Piseev.
