Figure skater of the Philippine national team, Alexander Korovin, talked about the past championships of four continents. The tournament was held from February 7 to February 12, 2023 in Colorado Springs, USA.
The 28-year-old Korovin has been paired with Isabella Gomez. Skaters placed ninth out of ten participants (one was drawn). Russian Korovin changed his citizenship to Filipino in 2021.
“Describe our performance in one word? All right, letter P. And that’s not the word “bad”. The mood is neither bad nor good, just a hopeless situation. I understand that we can do something, but whenever we come to the competition and nothing happens, ”says the athlete “Sport Express”.
The Four Continents Championship was the Korovin / Gomez couple’s first match in major international tournaments. Their main achievement is the victory in the Philippine Championship – 2023.
Recall that the International Skating Union (ISU) suspended Russian and Belarusian athletes from the competition. The ISU explained this decision with the recommendations of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). This decision was approved at the ISU congress in early June. It has an indeterminate structure.
Former figure skater Vlada Vasilyeva statedThat the conditions in Australia cannot be compared with the way of life of the athletes of the Russian national team.
