“The negotiations to join the French team lasted a very long time, but the FFKKR agreed to meet them halfway” – Ovsyankina

Figure skater Alisa Ovsyankina thanked the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) for permission to compete for the French team.

Earlier, coach Marien de la Asuncion told that Ovsyankina will play for France starting next season. She teams up with Frenchman Maximilian Rayet.

— How difficult was the process of getting an outing with the French team? Was it easy to reach an agreement with the Russian Federation?

— The negotiations lasted a very long time. I am very grateful to the Russian Federation for taking into account all the circumstances of my situation and making a compromise. But it took time,” Championship Ovsyankina quotes.

In November, Ovsyankina announced the breakup of the duet with Matvey Samokhin. In winter, a team from Lyon contacted the figure skater and suggested that she team up with Rayet, who would later become her partner.
