Double Olympic champion and current figure skating coach Yevgeny Plushenko confirmed that his student Sofya Shifrina had changed her sports citizenship to Israeli.
Earlier, the athlete took appropriate notes on his social networks.
– Yes, Sofia will play for the Israeli national team, that’s right, – Plushenko told Metaratings.ru.
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.
Since the beginning of the year, 19 skaters have applied to the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) to change their nationality.
