Olympic silver medalist in speed skating Sergei Trofimov told that he was offered to play for the Kazakhstan national team, but he turned down the opportunity.
At the moment, Russian skaters are not allowed to participate in international competitions due to the situation in Ukraine. Earlier, Russian Skating Union President Nikolai Gulyaev told that world championship medalist Elizaveta Golubeva, Russian champion Kristina Silaeva and national team coach Sergei Klevchenya had expressed their desire to represent the Kazakhstan team.
– Were you invited to the national team of Kazakhstan?
– They called. Again, I don’t want to say how it could turn out, but by then a decision had already been made regarding the team and I carefully declined the invitation from Kazakhstan.
What do you think of those who agree?
“I sympathize with their decision,” Trofimov told .
