Elena Chaikovskaya, head coach of the Russian national figure skating team, said that Russian athletes are ready for international competitions.
Today, on March 7, in the conference hall of the Russian Olympic Committee, Chaikovskaya received a certificate of honor from the President of the Russian Federation at the ceremony of presenting state awards.
“Thank you for your support during the Beijing Olympics. It was a difficult time, but we had a successful performance. What happened next has nothing to do with sports. But now we are strong and ready at any moment to step onto the world stage and show who is who,” expert quotes sports24.
From the spring of 2022, Russian skaters are not allowed to compete in tournaments under the auspices of the International Skating Union (ISU). Thus, representatives of Russia did not perform at the 2022 World Championship in Montpellier, the International Grand Prix tournaments and the 2023 European Championship.
Former Russian figure skater Elizaveta Tuktamysheva said that strict diets do not help with weight loss.
