The Frenchman believes that without the Russians, the tournaments have lost their competitiveness. This is especially true for the European Championship.
“I really feel sorry for the Russian figure skaters. I don’t understand this decision. It has always been interesting to compete with them, in any tournament – especially the European Championships – the level has dropped. applies to women’s singles and pairs skating,” Joubert said.
Russian figure skaters were suspended from international competitions on March 1, 2022. So far, they are not allowed to participate in tournaments, even in neutral status.
