Athletistic / Figure skating. World figure skating champion Alexander Gallyamov, who performs in a duet with Anastasia Mishina, reacted to comments by Belgian European champion Luna Hendricks about doping among Russian figure skaters. On March 16, she said that if figure skating had not been doped, she would have won many more medals by now.

“I always knew that the Moon has a strong influence on people, especially in spring. But I didn’t expect that if a person is also called Moon, then this influence will multiply. Sometimes it is a multiple of the place taken at Maybe there just hasn’t been a moon landing for a long time. “It’s spring,” Gallyamov wrote on his social media page.

Since March 2022, Russian figure skaters can no longer participate in international competitions due to sanctions from the International Skating Union (ISU). When Russians competed on the international stage, Luna Hendricks often found herself two steps away from the podium at the World and European Championships, because at these tournaments the podium was entirely occupied by Russian figure skaters.
