The medalist of the Games Morozov said that collective responsibility should not be applied in sports
Russian figure skater Vladimir Morozov called the decision of the International Skating Union (ISU) to remove Russians from international tournaments sad. His words are reported by RIA Novosti.
“Collective responsibility should not apply anywhere, not only in sports,” the athlete said. He noted that the world is in a difficult situation and no one knows how to do the right thing.
At the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, Morozov, performing with Evgenia Tarasova, won silver medals in pair skating. The duet also won silver in the team championship of the 2018 Games in Pyeongchang. Tarasova and Morozov are two-time European champions and two-time silver and bronze medalists of the world championships.
On March 1, the ISU banned Russians from participating in competitions under its auspices. The organization explained that the decision was made on the basis of the recommendations of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The ban affected figure skaters, skaters and short track skaters.
