Russian figure skater Sofya Shifrina, who trains at the Angela Plushenko Figure Skating Academy, will represent Israel.
The athlete took the appropriate notes on his social networks. Federations and official representatives have not publicly confirmed the change of sporting citizenship. Earlier it became known that since the beginning of the year, 19 skaters have applied to the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) to change their nationality.
Shifrina is 13 years old. Last year, at the Russian Championship among junior figure skaters, the figure skater took 11th place among girls of the older age group.
