Athletistic/Figure skating. Acting President of the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) Anton Sikharulidze expressed his opinion regarding the possible transfer of Russian figure skater Sofia Samodelkina to the Kazakhstan national team.

Previously, Samodelkina successfully completed the procedure for obtaining Kazakh citizenship.

“I would like to emphasize that the final decision must be made at a meeting of the FFKKR executive committee. My attitude on the issue of transfers has already been expressed earlier. As for Samodelkina in particular, she undoubtedly has talents exceptional. Last season she had difficulties, judging by the results “She is not one of the leaders of Russian figure skating among women. Now she has a choice: to continue fighting with those who showed themselves at the Russian Championships in Chelyabinsk, or to look for ways at the national level, “Sikharulidze noted in an interview with RIA Novosti.

Yesterday, Anton Sikharulidze also promised to tighten the conditions for transferring Russian skaters to other national teams.
