Athletistic/ Figure Skating. Recently, many Russian athletes have been deprived of the opportunity to participate in international competitions. In this respect, the subject of the evolution of sports citizenship is constantly raised. This was expressed by the two-time Olympic champion in figure skating, and now coach Evgeni Plushenko.
– Have any of my students expressed a desire to change sporting citizenship? No, we don’t have that. All my athletes stayed to skate for Russia. Am I to assume someone will leave? I can’t forbid them to change nationality, almost all my students are minors. They have parents with whom they will make a decision.
But today I will dissuade my students if someone wants to change their nationality. At least I’ll try to answer. In any case, 99% of my students will not want to do that,” quotes “RB Sport” Plushenko.
