The director of the Hungarian Figure Skating Federation Gurgen Vardanyan, in an interview with , assessed the results of the congress of the International Skating Union (ISU) for the Russian side.
The Congress was held from June 6 to 10 in Phuket. During it, a number of key decisions for figure skating were taken – from raising the age limit to 17 to extending the suspension of Russia and Belarus due to the crisis. in Ukraine. At the end of the congress, the leadership of the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) described it as “politicized”.
“Honestly, I expected it to be much worse. It seems to me that the Russian delegation was treated normally. Of course, the elections to the technical commissions did not go as the Russian side would have liked. And it’s a shame that this happened.
Behind the scenes, many people regretted that Yulia Andreeva was not admitted to the technical committee for single and pair skating, Uliana Chirkova was not admitted to the committee for synchronized skating. Many things were said there… But the vote was secret, so everyone chose as they wanted. We have to make these decisions and work on developing the sport in the future,” Vardanyan said.
