The Lausanne Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) will consider the case regarding the expulsion of Russian figure skaters and skaters on May 2. It has been reported press office organizations websites.
The lawsuits were filed by the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR), the Russian Skating Union, short track skater Semyon Elistratov, speed skater Angelina Golikova, and figure skaters Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov. In these cases, the defendant will be the International Skating Union (ISU).
It was noted that CAS decided to combine all the above claims into a single claim.
Recall that in March 2022, the ISU decided to exclude Russian athletes from competitions held under its auspices. Because of this, the pair of single skaters Anna Shcherbakova and Anastasia Mishina / Alexander Gallyamov lost the opportunity to defend the world championship.
Earlier, it was reported that State Duma deputy and three-time Olympic champion Irina Rodnina called: don’t wait Russia’s quick turnaround after the IOC Executive Committee.
