Earlier, the media reported that Annabelle Morozov and Igor Eremenko were considering the possibility of joining the US national team.
“It’s their right, especially if they want to join the American team. Whether I regret it or not, this decision will not change. They probably thought long and hard about their options. To compete for another country, you must have citizenship, and that’s a tough question.
I feel the same way about athletes choosing another nationality as I do about the fact that many Russians go to work and live in other countries. This is not prohibited by law. They don’t violate anything. Freedom of movement and opinion is guaranteed by the Constitution. But I doubt that in the United States Morozov and Eremenko could be offered better conditions. They made the decision with their family and know what they are doing.
I can’t say if Russian figure skating will lose. Last year I didn’t watch either Russian or international competitions. Therefore, I cannot assess the skills of this couple,” Rodnina said in an interview with a Sport24 correspondent.
