Celebrity coach Barbara Fusar-Poli, medalist of the 2002 Olympics, believes that Russia should replace figure skater Dario Chirizano and let him go to the Italian team. Words lead the way “Sport Express”.
“This is not fair. They do sports. And Dario has not been skiing in international competitions for almost two years! That’s enough. At that age, two years without competition is enough! I understand that it is a difficult moment for Russia, there is a military conflict, this is also a problem. Dario wants to play for Italy, not Russia. I hope the federation understands this. “Because he hasn’t been in international competition for a long time,” said Fusar-Poli.
Chirizano previously performed a dance duet with Irina Khavronina for Russia. At the end of 2022, the couple broke up. In early May 2022, it was learned that Chirizano was performing a duet with Denisa Tsimlova from the Czech Republic, the couple moved to Montreal and began training under the guidance of Roman Agenauer. Now they want to play for Italy.
After the 2022 Olympics, Russian skaters cannot participate in international competitions due to penalties.
