Sarah Jenkins, a Canadian journalist for CBC Sports, has called for figure skating to be removed from the Olympics due to Russia’s dominance. She wrote about it in Twitter.
“I think we should remove all sports from the Olympic Games that are dominated by one country or another,” the journalist believes.
In particular, she suggested abandoning figure skating because of Russia’s leadership, skiing because of Norway, bobsledding because of Germany, and speed skating because of the Netherlands. Jenkins did not specify whether she was serious about such an initiative.
