Tatiana Tarasova assessed the prospects of Russian figure skaters on the international stage. Here’s a translation of her comment.

“We have a true national champion — Adelia Petrosyan. But we still haven’t received permission to compete at the World Championships or the European Championships. We’ve only been invited to the Olympic Games.

Of course, we have skaters capable of winning Olympic gold. I won’t name names, but it will be very difficult for them. We haven’t competed internationally for many years, we won’t have our judges, and no one is waiting for us.

The Olympics will be extremely tough for us. We will definitely be there, but with only one athlete in each discipline. Not three, as was the norm, but just one,” said Tatiana Tarasova.
