«Non-humans decided to bury». Coach from the Russian Federation commented on the scandal surrounding Russian figure skaters.

Coach Tarasova accused of the scandal

Honored coach of the USSR in figure skating Tatyana Tarasova expressed her opinion on the scandal regarding the exclusion of Russian athletes from Olympic qualification. She believes that 'non-humans decided to bury all Russian athletes'.

On Saturday, May 17, figure skaters Alexandra Stepanova and Ivan Bukin addressed the International Skating Union (ISU) and the new head of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Kirsty Coventry with an official video statement to seek explanations regarding their exclusion from the qualifying tournament for the Olympics in Italy.

'I believe they did the right thing by reaching out. Whether it will help or not, I can't say, because these non-humans decided to bury all Russian athletes', - commented Tarasova.

The qualifying tournament in figure skating will take place in September in Beijing.

Russian figure skater Ksenia Korzhova, recognized by the ISU as a neutral athlete, found herself at the center of the scandal for liking posts in support of the war.
