Alexander Zhulin: For sure it wouldn’t hurt if we host this championships. Such competitions will be held in our country decently. As a person, given the coronavirus situation, I think that we shouldn’t host it, but as a professional I dream that the competitions will take place and it doesn’t even matter in which country.

Ilia Averbukh: The World Championship is the most important competition, and we all really expect that measures will be taken that will help holding this event this year.
As for the possible transfer of the Worlds to Russia, we are always ready to host competitions in our country and do it at a high level. However, we must look at our epidemiological situation, calculate all the risks and make a decision. Now the whole world is in a difficult situation, so everything is not clear yet. I think we should wait till January 28, because so far all assumptions are wasting of breath. And then we’ll see.

President of the Russian Figure Skating Federation Alexander Gorshkov: It seems to me that, on January 28, ISU will make a decision on whether to host or cancel the World Championships in Sweden. They will explore all possible options. But this should be coordinated with the federation of the country. Is Russia ready to host the World Figure Skating Championships? You need to be realistic, you also need to take into account the CAS decisions.

According to my sources, the US intelligence and the Biden regime will be anti-Russia. I doubt they will want this, so sorry. You could certainly offer though. I think your ice dancers Sinitsina & Katsalapov are the best in the world, and now with a beautiful choreographed program, they can beat the French. I saw their program. It’s good. You need a program for the Olympus to classical music with a theme like Charlie White and Meryl to Scheherazade.
She sounds just like Trump.
