Athletistic / Figure skating. Tatiana Tarasova, honored figure skating coach of the USSR, responded to the resounding publication of the International Skating Union (ISU). In the announcement of the European Figure Skating Championships, the ISU did not use a photo of current champion Anastasia Gubanova, representing Georgia. Instead of the athlete who previously represented Russia, the image of Belgian Luna Hendricks appeared on the poster.

Please note that the poster has subsequently been modified. Gubanova appeared there.

Averbukh said he would not watch the European Figure Skating Championships

“Gubanova won the European Championship last year, but she was not published in the announcement. This is simply a lack of respect for the Russian people!”

The ISU does not have the right to do this, it simply does not have the right,” Tarasova is quoted as saying by RIA Novosti.
