Coach of the Russian National Short Track Team Vladimir Grigoriev told ” that he had not communicated with the winner of the world championships Sofia Prosvirnova of his future in sport after the Beijing Games.
On Tuesday, five-time European and multiple world champion Prosvirnova announced plans to change sporting citizenship to Danish. After the Beijing Games, the athlete married Danish speed skater Viktor Torup. Moreover, the 25-year-old told that she could switch to speed skating, and the Danish side have already approved her transition.
I’m glad she wants to keep running, but it’s hard for me to comment on the rest. Realizing that it is still unclear whether or not Russia will be allowed to participate in international competitions, she decided to skip the year. I haven’t raced anywhere for a year, and now most likely I will be able to race for another country during the season. I did not see this athlete after the Olympics, I did not hear … Here, rather, the personal trainer knows this situation better, ”Grigoryev told .
Prosvirnova is a five-time European champion, two-time silver medalist and two-time bronze medalist of the World Championships, winner of the 2019 Universiade.
