MOSCOW, Jan 22, Andrey Simonenko. 1984 Olympic champion in pair skating Oleg Vasilyev said in an interview that he is one hundred percent loaded with work as the head coach of the Belarusian figure skating team, so he does not plan to work with Russian skaters in the near future. Vasilyev, an honored coach of Russia, led the Belarusian national figure skating team in June 2020. «I am one hundred percent busy with work in Belarus. The situation is now difficult, the Olympics are ahead, all this is practically new for Belarusian figure skating, so I devote a lot of time to the organizational process. In addition, I have a family to whom I want to devote my free time. I don’t think that I will find a temporary niche for something else, and it is unlikely that any new proposal will be of interest to me, «Vasiliev said, answering the question whether it is possible in the near future time to return to work with Russian figure skaters.
