“Don’t let Megan get upset.” Svishchev criticized Canadian Duhamel for her statement about Tutberidze

Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Dmitry Svishchev believes that the negative towards the honored coach Eteri Tutberidze is due to the fact that she is the strongest specialist on the planet and raises world stars. He said this in a conversation with .

Former Canadian figure skater Megane Duhamel said Tutberidze’s calls for the world rankings to be frozen in the absence of the Russian skaters are “ridiculous” because at the Olympics she “broke the principles of fair play herself”.

How strong is our law? If there is no proof, you are not guilty. All disputes are just ahead. Therefore, Megan must closely monitor the progress of the process. There can be no rights to Camila this time, and secondly, what does Tutberidze have to do with it? She didn’t break anything. Megan doesn’t like that it’s the strongest trainer on the planet today, who conjures up stars. She has so many stars shining in her music video already, and how many are yet to come. In fact, Megan can be understood. She understands that if Russians are not in the rankings, foreign athletes have a chance. I understand it purely as a human being. But this is not a sporting principle.

You have to fight with the strongest, you have to win in the rankings with the strongest, that’s what the ranking is for. Therefore, don’t Megan get upset, don’t blame our coaches, our athletes. They just need to practice and practice, and blaming or suspecting someone is definitely none of their business. Their task is to win in a fair fight on the fields, on the courts, on the ice rinks, on the sports fields, on the shooting ranges, anywhere. And court intrigues are certainly not theirs,” Svishchev said.
