MOSCOW, Jan 20, Oleg Bogatov. Inclusion of figure skater Andrey Mozalev in the number of participants The forthcoming Olympic Games in Beijing in men's single skating is a logical and fair decision, said the silver medalist of the 2002 Olympics Ilya Averbukh. The Russian Figure Skating Federation on Thursday announced the composition of the team for the Games in Beijing. The 2022 European champion Mark Kondratyuk, Mikhail Kolyada and Andrey Mozalev, who won the competition for the third ticket from Evgeny Semenenko, will compete in the men's competition. «I think that everything is absolutely logical and fair,» Averbukh said, commenting on the choice in favor of Mozalev. — And, «probably, after the results of the European Championship, it simply could not be otherwise. Everything is deserved, those athletes who showed themselves best in the selection process go. Therefore, there can be no questions. And Mozalev beat Semenenko once again at the European Championship, proving that he has the right to go to the Olympic Games.
