Athletistic/ Figure Skating. Honored coach of the USSR in figure skating Tatyana Tarasova will hold a meeting with Russian figure skaters, the main topic of which will be the change of sports citizenship.
“If we now promote the topic of Smolkin and Davis’ transition, then skaters who haven’t considered the same possibility before will think about not being inactive for a year. Next week I’m going to Novogorsk, where I would like to hold a meeting with our skaters, express their opinion on this,” said Tarasova.
On June 29, it became known that Russian figure skaters Diana Davis and Gleb Smolkin, performing in ice dancing, got married and will soon be screened at the United States Figure Skating Federation. The inside was published by American journalist Dave Lees, who spoke about the couple’s transition to Team USA in early June.
Davis is an American citizen, so if Smolkin really married her, he will be able to play for the United States team not only in domestic competitions, but also in international tournaments, including the Olympics. The skaters themselves, as well as their representatives, have not yet commented on the information about the pair’s transition to the American team.
