“Why publicly apologize?” Bobrova – about the clash between figure skaters Shanaeva and Morozov

Olympic champion Ekaterina Bobrova spoke about the clash between the skaters Elizaveta Shanaeva And Annabelle Morozova during the warm-up for the third stage of the Russian Grand Prix.

On Saturday, during the warm-up before the rhythm dance, Morozov received a cut on the leg when she collided with Shanaeva, performing in tandem with Pavel Drozd. Morozov went to the rental with a bandage on the damaged area. After the competition, the skater received medical treatment. The doctors sewed him up. On Sunday it became known that Morozov and Igor Eremenko decided to withdraw from the free program for medical reasons.

— Unfortunately, this happens, because the hardest warm-up is the top five. Sometimes you just want to go around the board and do nothing at all, because when you see all those eyes and that hustle and bustle and that excitement… It happens. It’s not an excuse, but the fact that this really could have happened went unnoticed by Lisa. There was no strong collision there, when bam, someone falls, and you drive up and start asking if everything is okay and helping. There was no strong collision here, she touched with her heel. Lisa might even have thought she had hit her shoe. No one fell, everything is fine, let’s move on.

On the show, we saw how Igor picked Annabelle up and then immediately put her down. She crouched down and they left without any problem. When Igor took her in his arms, what were Lisa and Pasha doing? They grew more heated, they no longer saw at that moment that anything had happened. They have their own goal – they are rolling, and this is normal, because there was no strong collision. What happened next ? The guys get off the ice and disperse. They didn’t see that anything serious had happened, that Annabelle’s leg was bandaged. The guys go to their corner and get ready for their skate. They cancel their program and it is only in the mixed zone that they are asked what happened. What can they say after their performance? They said they didn’t notice anything, that’s true. “If something goes wrong, we will apologize.” They said it. No need to insist further on this subject and to meet them!

There were a lot of comments that she needed to officially apologize. Writing on social media, recording apologies on camera – Pasha was right when he said it would be window dressing. Why do this? I’m sure the guys came and apologized. They are all normal, no matter whose ex-partners they are. They said they spoke to Annabelle, I’m sure it was “sorry we didn’t mean that”. But why would you want them to do it publicly? Also, those who left such comments and asked them for this, they owe absolutely nothing! – Bobrova is cited by “Championship”.
