Beijing time on March 11 news, Russian figure skating this month will be the first channel cup competition, the time is set for March 24 to 27, this time is exactly the time of the figure skating World Championships. Therefore, it is clear that this is a silent protest by Russian figure skaters against being banned by the International Ice Federation. When the domestic competitions in which Russian figure skating appears clash with international competitions without Russian athletes, many ice fans may prefer to see the performances of Russian figure skaters.
The Russian figure skating dream team has been banned by the whole team and cannot participate in this month's World Championships, however, the Russian side has a unique trick, that is, to run its own event. In March and April, Russian figure skating has two main events, and next month will be a tour. At that time, Zagitova, Medvedeva, Sherbakova, Vallieva and Trusova 'five dolls' will appear. As for this month, it is the first channel cup that clashes with the World Championships.
That is to say, from March 24 to 27, the outside world can not only see the Figure Skating World Championships, but also see Russian figure skaters appearing in the domestic arena. Obviously, this is easy to interpret as Russia using its figure skating advantage to lodge a silent protest against the ITA's ban – if I am not allowed to participate, then I will run the event myself!
For this statement from the outside world, Alexander Gorshkov, president of the Russian Figure Skating Association, has responded, he did not answer directly, but left 2 words: "You guessed!" The meaning of this sentence may be obvious, the Russian figure skating competition and the World Championships "crash", there are more meanings.
Now, the outside world can see the Russian figure skaters and other athletes of the World Championships, of course, many ice fans watch figure skating is to see the Russian team's high-level performance, so the Russian team's move, very powerful!
