Yagudin about the neutral status for skaters: you have to grab for this opportunity
Olympic champion Alexei Yagudin revealed the attitude to the performance of Russian skaters in international competitions in neutral status. His words are given by Sport-Express.
The former athlete supported athletes who are ready to perform on such conditions. “If there is the possibility of performing even in a neutral status, you need to grab it and try to go and win. Unfortunately, sports life ends very quickly, ”said Yagudin.
Earlier, two -time European champion in Kerling, Anna Sidorova, revealed the attitude to the performance at international competitions in neutral status. “The absence of the flag does not spoil the athlete,” the athlete said.
In December 2024, the International Union of Skating Handles (ISU) announced the admission of Russians for the selection for games-2026, which will be held in the Italian cities of Milan and Cortina-D’Ampezzo. In qualification competitions, they will be able to take part in one athlete or pair in each discipline in neutral status.
