Olympic figure skating champion Alexei Yagudin told that he did not see a sporting component in the exclusion of Russians from international competitions.
Previously, the acting president of the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) Anton Sikharulidze said that the Russian team will prepare for the 2026 Olympics. Currently, Russian figure skaters are suspended from their participation in competitions under the auspices of the International Skating Union (ISU) due to the situation in Ukraine.
— Anton Sikharulidze said that we will be able to return to the world stage by the 2026 Olympics. Do you believe in this situation?
— Anton Trielievich communicates with the ISU, he has more information. As an outsider who gets information from the media, I am simply observing from the sidelines. But I believe in it. I understand what the suspension is based on, but what does sport have to do with it? I apologize, Israelis can be suspended in the same way,” Yagudin told .
