For Russian figure skaters, performances on the international stage would be a sure encouragement; I really want Russia to be allowed to participate in the Olympic season, the World and European Championship medalist told . Elena Radionova .
Earlier, honorary vice-president of the International Skating Union (ISU) Alexander Lakernik told that the question of admitting Russians to international tournaments in the 2024/25 season had not been recently discussed within the ISU.
— I would still like to perform on the international stage. It would be a kind of incentive for the guys. Regardless, figure skating turned out to be an interesting and intriguing domestic season. The guys are motivated to skate, win competitions and medals. There are many competitions in our country, and not only active athletes, but also figure skaters who have completed their careers want to take part in them. We are talking about a tournament based on show programs.
I wish we could enter the Olympic season. We can only wait. And then we’ll see how it goes. In any case, the guys have the motivation to perform,” Radionova told .
Russian athletes have been suspended from participating in competitions under the auspices of the ISU since 2022. The ISU Congress will be held in Las Vegas from June 10 to 14.
