Olympic champion Maxim Trankov in an interview with a correspondent, he commented on the coach’s proposal Eteri Tutberidze not to update rankings in figure skating and not to distribute awards in the absence of Russian athletes at international competitions.
– Of course, I agree with Eteri Georgievna. If you think in terms of fair play and fairness, in an ideal world his words are very true. But we live in a different reality.
I don’t think anything can change now. You have to talk about it, it’s worth showing your emotions. But there are no preconditions for us to be heard. In figure skating, we have the most important confrontation with the countries of North America. And it’s more behind the scenes than in reality. Therefore, they don’t really want to see us on the international stage. This has been happening for a very long time.
How long will our suspension last? As long as the International Skating Union (ISU) is closer to North America, there is a better chance that they will continue to ban us than for some kind of fair decision,” Trankov told .
