Athletistic/Figure skating. Chairman of the Sports Committee of the Russian State Duma Dmitry Svishchev commented on Megan Duhamel’s statements regarding the proposal to ban the transfer of Russian figure skaters to other countries.

“You shouldn’t listen to Megan Duhamel’s nonsense. Although, of course, we should not neglect the transfers of some of our skaters to other teams. At the same time, it is proof of recognition of the high level of our figure school. .

However, demanding a ban on such transitions is not within its jurisdiction. That she can better develop figure skating in her country. What about his attitude to the fact that our coaches are working in Canada and the United States, raising the level of this sport in these countries?

Migration and obtaining sporting citizenship in other countries is a common practice. We understand that some athletes are now seeking to obtain citizenship of another country,” Svishchev said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
