Moscow, 1 Mar, Alexander Sergeev. Silver and bronze medalist of the Olympic Games, and now coach Alexander Zhulin said that the decision to exclude Russian and Belarusian skaters from participating in international competitions is unfair. On Tuesday, the International Skating Union (ISU) banned Russian and Belarusian athletes from participating in competitions under the auspices of the organization due to the situation in Ukraine. «This is an unfair decision. . I think that sports and politics should not be mixed. All other decisions related to football, hockey are also unfair. We now live in a time when there is a reassessment of values. How this will all end is unclear. We will endure, like all the inhabitants of our country,» Zhulin said. The World Figure Skating Championships will be held in France from March 21 to 27.
