Athletistic/Figure skating. Tatiana Tarasova, honored figure skating coach of the USSR, spoke about the change in citizenship of figure skaters. She urged not to draw attention to this process if we are not talking about titled athletes.

“Does the trend of changing citizenship among athletes bother me? There is no trend. There is no need to sow hysteria around the change of citizenship of athletes of the 10th echelon,” Tarasova quotes RB Sport.

Recently it became known that Ekaterina Geinish and Dmitry Chigiryov submitted documents to obtain Uzbek citizenship. Gainish and Chigiryov have been performing together since 2022, they are winners of the Moscow Cup stage, medalists of the Moscow Championship and the Panin-Kolomenkin Memorial. Tarasova believes their transition is no loss for Russian figure skating.
