The head of the Figure Skating Federation of Armenia Melania Stepanyan commented on the removal of Russian athletes from participating in international competitions. Since March 1, 2022, skaters do not have the right to perform at tournaments under the auspices of ISU.

“We are against the removal of Russian athletes. The World Cup was already killed, without Russians it was bored there. It seems to me that figure skating without Russia does not look at all. It will die, ”Stepanyan quotes Sport-Express.

There is a discussion in the media about the possible transition of skaters to other federations due to the ban on speaking at international competitions under the auspices of ISU.
