Figure skater coach Fedchenko: “I expressed my position on the situation with Plushenko. Supplementary question to the Ethics Committee”

Figure skating coach Sofia Fedchenko said she was aware of the results of the meeting of the Ethics Commission of the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR), which was held on March 20.

Evgeni Plushenko criticized the refereeing of the Russian Junior Championship in Perm. Fedchenko, being the coach of competition winner Alina Gorbacheva, called the two-time Olympic champion’s remarks “hysteria”. According to media reports, the Plushenko Academy filed a complaint against Fedchenko with the FFKKR Ethics Commission.

Based on the results of the meeting, the commission made recommendations for the executive committee of the FFKKR, which will tentatively be held on April 12 or 16. Final decisions will be made following the results of the executive committee.

– Do you know anything about the ethics committee? There have been trials.

— Yes, there was an ethics committee. The decisions she made were passed on to the figure skating federation. And then there will be a presidium.

Have you been contacted about this? Did you say what recommendations were sent to the figure skating federation?

– No. There are some things, but that’s inside information.

– Is it important to you that this situation leads to a certain result, or does the decision that will be made matter?

– At that time I was at the Spartakiad. I made my position clear. Moreover, it is already a question for the ethics commission.

Is it true that Evgeni Plushenko participated in the online ethics commission?

” Honestly, I do not know. This is a question for Evgeny Viktorovich and the Ethics Commission.

– Considering that the commission passed without the main defendants, do you trust its decision?

“There were various opportunities to attend the ethics commission, and all participants in the situation were present there in whatever form they wanted,” the correspondent reports, in the words of Fedchenko.
