MOSCOW, 25 Mar. Olympic champion in ice dancing Tatiana Navka believes that Western journalists purposefully speak unflatteringly about Russian figure skaters. From Wednesday to Saturday, the World Figure Skating Championships are held in Montpellier, France, Russian athletes are not allowed to participate. American journalist Christine Brennan said she was glad for the absence of domestic skaters at the tournament. «She said everything in her own words. The task of the Americans is to destroy Russia and China. A strong person will never say that. It's a sport. It seems to me that with this statement she insulted herself and his entire country, «Sport-Express quotes Navka. From Friday to Sunday, Saransk hosts the Channel One Cup, in which all the strongest Russian skaters take part.
