Earlier, the International Skating Union (ISU), against the backdrop of events in Ukraine, banned athletes from Russia and Belarus from competitions under its auspices.

Both skaters have previously competed for Russia. Gubanova representing Georgia since 2021 and Kvitelashvili since 2016.

Interesting perspective on the Russians finding a way to compete at worlds. I watched these skaters this past weekend and it was interesting to compare them to the typical Russians they send to Worlds.
A Russian by any other name…is still Russian! They too should be banned.
Why does Russia get nine entries in women’s skating by using former republics to get more entries?
good news!it means at least there will be something worth seeing
