Down-the-line.com / Figure Skating. Choreographer Alexei Zheleznyakov, who works with Eteri Tutberidze’s group, spoke about the change of nationality of Russian athletes to other teams. He said it is unacceptable to go to “unfriendly” countries.

“When an athlete has reached a certain level and, for example, joined the national team, certain public funds are allocated to him. If the federation of a country is interested in an athlete and wants him to play for him , then he has to offset the country’s costs for that athlete.

How and where to move is a personal matter for everyone, but personally I am of the opinion that a lot depends on the country you are moving to. Going through a hostile country is ugly. But the person decides for himself – why and where he goes. I think there should be compensation on the side that invites the athlete. Why is Russia collecting and investing money, while an athlete flees to play for another country? This is wrong,” Zheleznyakov said as quoted by Match TV.
