President of the Russian Skating Union Nikolai Gulyaev said on that the organization had not given official consent to the transition Elisabeth Golubeva And Christina Silaeva to the national team of Kazakhstan.
Golubeva and Silaeva train with the Kazakhstan national team and intend to play for this team, as notified by the Russian Skating Union.
– Is the information true that the negotiations on the transition were not very open?
— The comments of the colleagues from Kazakhstan cause me nothing but surprise and perplexity. We really have a request from Kazakhstan regarding the change of nationality and the speech of Elizaveta Golubeva, I emphasize this – only Golubeva, from our colleagues from Kazakhstan.
We had several telephone conversations with the honorary president of the Skating Federation of Kazakhstan, Vasily Krylov, but naturally, I could not have private conversations. I said that we pass everything in an open correspondence process, because we and Kazakhstan are full members of the ISU. For our part, we have written that we are moving forward within the framework of the rules approved by the executive committee of the TFR. It is the main body of the Federation, where the conditions for the transition of athletes both inside the country and abroad are spelled out in black and white. Exactly within the framework of the position that we act. Such incomprehensible statements cause misunderstanding and confusion.
Has the transition been approved? Of course not. There have been no formal agreements and this could not be the case until the process governed by our position is completed. We work in stages. Response request. They hurry me, but we don’t delay.
Even before July 3, the athletes were on the Russian national team rosters, and only on July 3 did they sign an order for their expulsion from the national team rosters. We couldn’t do anything. We received after the fact a statement from the athletes that they should be removed from the national team roster of the country and regions. Which, in fact, has been done.
– Can athletes make an independent decision contrary to the TFR?
– It’s happening now. According to ISU regulations, the consent of the federation and the country they represented until recently must be obtained. If consent is not obtained, it is at the discretion of the ISU Transition Committee. What will be the result – I’m not sure. I can be responsible for myself and for the TFR,” Gulyaev told the show “There is a theme! “.
