Athletistic/Figure skating. Olympic ice dancing champion Natalya Bestemyanova commented on the statement of the acting president of the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) Anton Sikharulidze regarding the hardening of the position on the transfer of skaters to other teams in an interview with SE .

Bestemyanova emphasized that such a situation is still relevant today. She expressed the opinion that if an athlete is valuable to the federation and she needs him, she will not let him go. At the same time, if a person is not wanted, then he should be given the opportunity to leave the team. Bestemyanova also stressed the importance of retaining those you really need and motivating them financially. She supports the idea that those who are not wanted should be released.

Previously, some skaters decided to change their citizenship, including Olympic athletes Diana Davis and Gleb Smolkin. Dance duo Annabelle Morozov and Igor Eremenko are considering the possibility of changing their sports citizenship to French, and figure skater Sofya Samodelkina is considering representing Kazakhstan.
