2018 Olympics silver medalist in team competitions, Russian figure skater Alexandre Enbert explained that he will not participate in the tournament of the Russian Challenge Show program due to the absence of his former partner in the country Natalia Zabiyako .
– Everything is very simple: according to the tournament rules of the show program, you can only compete with the partner with whom you competed in sports. Natalia (Zabiyako) is now in another country, so I can’t compete in the team I played sports in. According to the rules of this tournament, I cannot participate.
Should the rules be changed in the future to allow greenhouses to compete solo or with other partners? Of course I would like that. For example, Lena Ilinykh starred in the show with Dima Solovyov, Katya Bobrova with Vanya Bukin, I skated with Vera Bazarova, with Tatyana Volosozhar. Of course, if you were allowed to play not only in the composition in which you skated in the sport, the pool of participants would increase considerably. And, it seems to me, it would be interesting to be interested in new couples who have not played sports together. So I am in favor of such changes happening,” Enbert told The Championship.
Enbert, paired with Zabiyako, became the bronze medalist of the World Championship (2019) and Europe (2018), won silver at the 2018 Olympics in the team tournament. At the start of the 2019/20 season, the couple announced the suspension of performances due to health problems with their partner, and in February 2020 announced their retirement.
