Athletistic/ Others. Honored figure skating coach Tatyana Tarasova commented on the possible change of sports citizenship of Russian athletes.

“Coaches know better than anyone that the lives of athletes are very short and I can understand both those who decide to change nationality and those who decide to stay. If there is no choice and your career is measured in 2-3 years, sometimes a year, then who It is not a betrayal, not a betrayal, but a choice out of desperation.

I will not urge or advise, but I will understand those who decide to play for another country. Competitions, victories – this is their life,” said Tarasova.
