Figure skater Boysangur Datiev, in a duet with Gauhar Nauryzova, explained to why they withdrew from the Four Continents Championship.
Last season, the Kazakh dance duo took 12th place at the Four Continents Championship, with 114.46 points. This year, the tournament will take place from January 29 to February 4 in Shanghai.
— This year we had to pay for the flight at our own expense, because we are not part of the national team and because of this there are always big questions about payment. Sometimes the DRS (Directorate of Sports Development) can pay, but this year it turned out that no one could tackle this issue. Also, during the preparation, I got sick and we were not in the best shape. We decided that in this situation it would be better for us to concentrate on preparing for the World Cup. This is more important for us,” Datiev told .
The World Figure Skating Championships will take place in Montreal from March 18 to 24.
