Honorary Vice President of the International Skating Union (ISU) Alexander Lakernik told that the organisation’s decision to extend the Russians’ suspension from international competitions is due to the fact that the ISU is a conservative organization.
On Sunday, the ISU press service reported that the organization confirmed the withdrawal of Russians from participating in international competitions under its auspices. Last year, the ISU suspended athletes from Russia and Belarus from competitions due to the situation in Ukraine.
– The International Skating Union is a rather conservative organization, which is probably the reason why such a decision was taken. Although the International Olympic Committee recently observed admission recommendations, Lakernik told .
On March 28, 2023, the IOC Executive Board recommended that international sports federations allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to participate in international competitions as neutral athletes and subject to additional conditions.
