“They again mixed sport with politics, punished their children.” Rudkovskaya on the cancellation of Trusova’s master class in Sweden

The producer and co-owner of the Angela Plushenko Academy, Yana Rudkovskaya, in an interview with a correspondent, called the situation with the cancellation of the master class of the Russian figure skater strange and unpleasant Alexandra Trousova in Stockholm.

– When such things happen in relation to an 18-year-old athlete, I want to ask: “Comrades, what are you doing?” Sport is out of politics! What does the 18-year-old figure skating star and the political situation have to do with it? What did she do to cancel her master classes? And what did the Stockholm children do who were waiting for the arrival of Sasha Trusova? What did they do to you wrong? Why did you do this story?

I am not aware of the commercial part – whether a penalty is due in this case or not. I know that many children were waiting for Sasha’s master class, they had to come, including from other countries. Our friends were going to Stockholm, I know that many children had to come from Italy, from Japan.

As a result, they again mixed sports with politics, punished their children. Sad and embarrassing. This is a very strange and unfortunate situation.

And Sasha is a strong girl, she will have a lot of master classes and shows all over the world. She is only at the beginning of her journey. We all love her very much and believe in her. You don’t have to worry about Sasha.

Our viewers and their children are happy people, they can not only cheer on Sasha, but also see a unique athlete during our broadcasts and the future Russian Grand Prix! said Rudkovskaya.

Earlier, a source from said that the Swedish and Stockholm figure skating federations pressured the organizers of Trusova’s master class and eventually managed to cancel it.
