retired figure skater Stanislav Konstantinov admitted that the exclusion of Russians harms the competitive component in many sports. She called the cancellation of the figure skater’s master class Alexandra Trousova in Sweden a long-awaited and sad event.
– Now Sasha Trusova’s master class has been canceled in Stockholm – I think it’s a little unfair to Sasha. And what do you think?
– If the reason for the cancellation is really political, then it’s expected and sad.
– Well, what about the children, who were waiting and probably wanted to see her?
“And with regard to children, and with regard to sport in general: the exclusion of Russian athletes is the elimination of a large part of competition in many forms, which I think does not will in principle bring no benefit to world sport,” Sport24 quotes Konstantinova.
The master class of the vice-champion of the Games in figure skating Trusova was to be held on August 27 and 28 in Stockholm. However, the event was eventually canceled.
On May 1, the International Skating Union (ISU) suspended Russians and Belarusians from all competitions under the organization’s auspices.
