Olympic figure skating champion Maxim Trankov told that he does not support the International Skating Union (ISU) initiative to change the content of pairs skating programs.
The ISU Congress will be held in Las Vegas from June 10 to 14, 2024.

It’s not very clear to me and I don’t really like it. The upper support distinguishes us from other species, our crowning element. Now they want to fire him. I don’t support that. “I would add extra support,” Trankov told .
