Former Russian ice dancer Ekaterina Bobrova and sports journalist Andrei Zhurankov talked about Russian skaters at Skate America in a podcast for Championat.
Here’s the translation of their comments:
“All the American team, which was represented by male single skaters at Skate America – Ilia Malinin, Andrei Torgashev, Stepan Gogolev… Hello,” said Olympic champion Ekaterina Bobrova in the “Khod Konkom” podcast.
“All Russian. They tried to get us out the door, but we went through the window, so to speak. And if you look at it, it turns out Malinin discusses something in Russian with his father. Nina Petrikina is a Russian-speaking Estonian, talking to her coach in the kiss and cry in Russian. Our people – Volodya Litvintsev and Nika Egadze, Nika was with Eteri Tutberidze.
Tchaikovsky was playing, Rachmaninoff was playing. They’re trying to cancel Russian culture, trying to cancel Russian figure skating, but it’s not working very well,” commented commentator Andrei Zhurankov.
“They can’t cancel us,” added Bobrova.”
