Russian national team head coach Elena Chaikovskaya, commenting for on the refusal of the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) to change sports citizenship Dario Cirisano in Czech said that a lot of money was spent on the skater.

Previously, the Russian dancer Chirizano was refused by the FFKKR during the transition under the auspices of the Czech Federation.

– The situation is clear. He is a member of the national team, he has played all season, we do not let him go. They spent a lot of money there.

The man wants to leave…

– He wants – there are rules, there is a quarantine in the ISU that must be endured, many resisted the quarantine and left. There are general ISU rules, this is not fiction. In the future, let him submit, but now the problem is solved this way,” Tchaikovskaya told .

Chirizano previously represented Russia with Irina Khavronina, together they won the Youth Olympic Games. In January 2023, the duo separated. In May, we learn that the Russian is training with the Czech Deniza Tsimlova in Montreal.
