Honored coach of Russia in figure skating Alexander Zhulin reacted to the ban on Canadian Olympic champions Megan Duhamel and Tessa Virtue from entering the Russian Federation. It is reported by “Match TV”.
According to the expert, the athletes were unlikely to strongly strive for the country. “They banned and banned, apparently, they considered this decision to be the right one,” Zhulin added.
Earlier it became known that Duhamel and Virtue were included in the list of 333 Canadian citizens who are prohibited from entering Russia. The decision was made by the Russian Foreign Ministry in response to the sanctions of the Canadian side.
