Tarasova said that she accepted the sanctions imposed on her by Channel One normally
Honored coach of the USSR in figure skating Tatyana Tarasova described her reaction to the sanctions imposed on her by Channel One. In a conversation with Lenta.ru, she shared that she accepted the suspension from commenting on the finals of the Russian Grand Prix in figure skating normally.
“I don’t comment, it didn’t work out. I took it normally – I won’t and I won’t, ”Tarasova said.
The Honored Coach of the USSR noted that for many years she commented on all competitions both independently and together with commentator Alexander Grishin.
“Now [директор спортивного вещания Первого канала Ольга] Chernosvitova considered that it was better without me. In addition, this is not my profession – a commentator. Although I have a TEFI award for this profession, ”she concluded.

Earlier, Tarasova said that she would not comment on the final of the Russian Grand Prix due to the decision of Channel One. According to the coach, this is due to the fact that she previously spoke out in support of the figure skater and coach Evgeni Plushenko, who criticized the refereeing at the Russian Junior Championships in Perm.
