Former Russian figure skater Alisa Efimova spoke about moving to the United States. Her words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
The athlete said that she did not immediately decide to come to the country to continue her career with the American figure skater Misha Mitrofanov. She emphasized that she wanted to continue her career, so she decided to try all possible options. “Misha is the best partner for me,” Efimova added.
Efimova was born in Finland, then represented Russia in a pair with Alexander Korovin. Together with him, she became the champion of the Universiade-2019. Two years later, the figure skater teamed up with the German Ruben Blommaert and competed for Germany. Efimova announced her move to the US national team on June 18.
On March 1, 2022, the International Skating Union banned Russians from participating in competitions under its auspices. Due to sanctions, athletes cannot compete at the World and European Championships, as well as in the Grand Prix series.
