Russian figure skater Khudayberdieva said that Russians are missed in Europe
Figure skater Elizaveta Khudaiberdieva, who competes in ice dancing with Yegor Bazin, spoke about the attitude towards Russians in Europe. Her words are quoted by Match TV.
“Having spent my vacation in several European countries and talked with many foreign skaters, I can say with confidence: Russians are loved, Russians are missed, and all this hatred and cultural cancellation is only in the statements of officials, because it is necessary,” the athlete said.
The Russian champion expressed hope that she will soon be able to return to the international arena. She added that she follows foreign athletes and their performances.
Russian figure skaters were banned from competing in tournaments under the auspices of the International Skating Union (ISU) in March 2022. The last major start for domestic athletes was the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing.
