Russia’s junior figure skating champion – 2008 Katarina Gerboldt commented on the sharp statements of two-time Olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko about refereeing the country’s junior championship in Perm.

That’s why I always try to support my athletes, but I don’t comment too much because I’m biased towards them. It seems to me that it’s always very difficult to adequately evaluate from the outside. , ”said Gerboldt socialbites.ca.
