USSR Honored Coach Tatyana Tarasova said that Canadian figure skater Megan Duhamel blamed Russian athletes, making her a fool who does not know the rules. Tarasova shared her opinion RIA News.
“Megan Duhamel is a fool who does not know the rules. You can go to the dressing room with a doctor. Ksenia Stolbova answered him very beautifully and beautifully,” said Tarasova.
Duhamel said in an interview with YouTube channel The Skating Lesson, calling it strange that Russian figure skaters Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov left after warming up on the ice with their doctor Philip Shvetsky. He found this suspicious in light of recent doping incidents among domestic athletes.
In the spring of 2022, the International Skating Union Council (ISU) suspended Russian and Belarusian athletes from competitions, explaining this decision with the recommendations of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). At the beginning of June 2022, this decision was approved at the ISU Congress. It is of an uncertain nature. On June 11, the ISU approved the suspension of the participation of Russian athletes in international competitions under its auspices.
Previously Stolbova sharply answered Duhamel.
