Athletistic / Figure skating. Tatiana Tarasova, Honored Figure Skating Coach of the USSR, spoke about the decision of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) not to invite Russian figure skaters to the awards ceremony of the team championship at the 2022 Olympic Games.

The ceremony is scheduled to take place in Paris on August 7. The American team will receive gold medals and the Japanese team will receive silver medals.

Recall that the Russian team won the tournament. But later, due to the disqualification of Kamila Valieva for violation of anti-doping rules, the Russians dropped to 3rd place.

Tarasova responded to Guberniev, who called Russia an unsportsmanlike country

“This is unexpected for me. Why do they punish athletes? What does it have to do with them? What kind of rudeness is this?” – RIA Novosti quotes Tarasova.
