Athletistic/ Figure Skating. Recently, many Russian athletes have been suspended from international competitions. In particular, the ban affected Russian figure skaters. In March, they missed the World Championships in Montpellier, and are unlikely to perform at the Grand Prix next season either. Honored coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova visited coach Eteri Tutberidze’s training group. Tarasova and Tutberidze discussed the current situation.

Tutberidze: In general, no one promised us an easy life.

Tarasov: As long as I live in the world, I have not seen this.

Tutberidze: No, this is not the case.

Tarasov: Such desperation – ever. They have such a line – they hear nothing.

Tutberidze: They united, there is nothing better than being friends against.

Tarasov: I do not understand why these children are removed from the competition.

Tutberidze: I don’t understand what they are for at all. Sports life is short.

Tarasov: These crumbs win everyone over, so they want the Russians to calm down a bit. But we are a restless people. We will not give them. And they will let us out when we are generally like animals.
