On March 11, Beijing time, according to the report of "P Sports", the first channel cup will be launched from March 24 to 27, which coincides with the time of the Figure Skating World Championships. The Figure Skating World Championships were held in Montpellier, France, on March 23-27, and it was clear that the Russian figure skating team was competing with the Figure Skating World Championships for spectators, even a silent protest.
The Russian figure skating team has been banned, in the newly released figure skating world championships list does not have the name of any Russian figure skating team, they have been suspended indefinitely by the whole team, which is why the first channel cup will be held, this practice is obviously a "silent protest", the performance of the three sets of dolls will inevitably affect the ratings of the World Championships.
Russian figure skating chairman Alexander Gorshkov responded in an interview to why the Channel One Cup was held on March 24-27, saying that the tournament was originally scheduled to be held after the Beijing Olympics, but the time was changed due to various problems. (Previously reported on March 5-8, followed by an extension))
When asked by reporters why Gorshkov chose to hold it at the same time as the Figure Skating World Championships, Gorshkov replied: "You guessed it! ”
The Russian figure skating team is undoubtedly the strongest in the world, Sherbakova, Trusova, Vallieva's position in the world figure skating project is even more important, once a former Olympic champion said that "if there is no Russian figure skating team, the gold medal of the World Championships will be 0 value", if these three people are on the first channel cup with the World Championships to grab the audience, what do you think will be the situation?
It has to be said that the figure skating world championships without three dolls are bound to fade, and the Russian figure skating team will have a figure skating exhibition match on April 9 in addition to the first channel cup. These three top players will not fade out of the figure skating world, and previous speculation that some of them are going to retire has also been shattered.
