Medalist at the World Speed Skating Championships Alexander Rumyantsev officially announced his retirement as an athlete.
After the 2021/22 Olympic season, Rumyantsev traveled to China to train as a sparring partner.
— I graduated in May. I wrote a letter to RUSADA, ADAMS (Anti-Doping Administration and Management System), ISU (International Skating Union) to announce that I was officially ending my sports career. I’ve been putting off this moment for a long time. I was invited to train in Russia with a team, but I already realized that for some reason I wouldn’t make the team. I started training in China and planned to participate in the Russian championships, but I got injured during cycling training and some problems arose regarding this. And at some point I realized that was it, I didn’t want it anymore.
Moreover, this whole situation in which we can only organize the Russian Cups and Championships does not interest me. “I want to believe that the Russian national team will return to the international arena in the near future, but so far there are few prospects,” Rumyantsev told .
