Commentator Dmitry Guberniev, in an interview with Sport-Express, spoke about the World Figure Skating Championship, which Russian athletes did not allow.

“This World Cup can be called special. Let's call a spade a spade. It is possible to say with full confidence that without Kamila Valieva this sport is absolutely degrading! And not only without her. The absence of all our athletes significantly influenced the entertainment and level of this tournament, ”he said.

Guberniev added that the sports authorities should engage in Russia's return to world competitions.

“Nevertheless, to our guys, I am talking now not only about figure skating, it is as important as possible to return to the international arena in the near future. Otherwise, our sports country will roll back a lot of steps back, ”he added.

Earlier, the public news service wrote that the two -time world figure skating champion, seven -time European champion Irina Slutskaya evaluated the 2022 Figure Skating Championship.
