Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, three-time Olympic champion in figure skating Irina Rodnina in a chat with , she called the coach’s call to shake the air Eteri Tutberidze to the International Skating Union (ISU) to cancel the rankings.
In the spring of 2022, the ISU suspended athletes from Russia and Belarus from participating in international competitions due to the situation in Ukraine. On Sunday, Tutberidze said the distribution of medals and titles without the participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes is not in line with the principles of fairness in sport. Canadian Olympic champion Megan Duhamel later called his remarks “ridiculous”.
– Eteri also remembers herself. It’s an exclamation in the air. There is a general rule: until the end of this year, we are suspended from all competitions. If you need to remember – the flag is in his hands. It’s just a jolt of the air, it has absolutely no effect on the situation. Shaking the air of each other (referring to Duhamel – ed. approx.), – said Rodnina.
