St. Petersburg, Jan 18, Boris Khodorovsky. Chairman of the coaching council of the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) Elena Chaikovskaya expressed the opinion that there was a lot of negativity in figure skating due to the statements of incompetent people whose goal is their own PR. According to Chaikovskaya, on the eve of the Olympics, it is necessary to create friendly atmosphere around the national team.» Unfortunately, recently a cohort of «experts» has formed who understand little about figure skating, but comment on everything, always and everywhere. Every day a lot of negative is thrown out, which is simply impossible to read. People who want to promote on our sport, they forget that figure skating is above all,” said Chaikovskaya. The 2022 Olympics will be held in Beijing from February 4 to 20.
