Russian short track skaters proved at the beginning of the season that their results correspond to the world level, but the International Skating Union is unlikely to make a decision on admission, said the coach of the Russian team short track. Vladimir Grigoriev .
The first stage of the Russian Cup ended on Sunday in Kolomna. In particular, Olympic medalist Konstantin Ivliev, winner of the 1000m, trains in Grigoriev’s group.
— This is the first start of the season, the leaders have all started. The competition was good for both women and men. In terms of speed and handling, everything was very good, for a first start of the season, just great in terms of emotions. To a large extent, everyone accomplished their task, so I am satisfied with the performance of my athletes.
— Will your athletes participate in all stages of the Russian Cup?
– It depends on your state of health. Of course, I would like all competitions to return.
— The all-around was excluded from the ISU calendar, but, as I understand it, this year you will also have the Russian all-around championship?
– Unfortunately yes. This is not very suitable for sprinters, but more so for those who run long distances. But they wanted it that way, so it will be that way.
— What do you expect from the ISU Council?
“It is unlikely that we will be allowed to participate in international competitions, especially since they impose strange conditions. “But if they allow it, we will be happy, we are ready, our results correspond to the world level,” Grigoriev told .
Russian athletes have been suspended from all international competition under the auspices of the ISU due to the situation in Ukraine.
