Athletistic/ Figure Skating. Tatyana Mishina commented on the suspension of Russian athletes from participating in international competitions and said whether she thought the ban would be lifted.

“Hope still remains. Everyone wants to believe in a better result. And everyone wants to train not only for domestic competitions but also to participate in international competitions. But if the suspension is extended, then we will ‘t give up and we won ‘don’t allow athletes. Athletes and coaches will have to reconcile, and leaders have to fight,” Mishina said.

Mishina also added that it would be difficult to find a comparable alternative to the World Championship or Grand Prix stages.
