St. Petersburg, June 24, Taras Barabash. Russian figure skaters Tiffany Zagorski and Jonathan Gureyro may end their professional careers due to a pay cut in the Russian national team, a source familiar with the situation said. Zagorski and Gureyro are silver medalists of the Russian Championship of the 2020/21 season, participated in games of 2018 in Pyeongchang. «Jonathan and Tiffany can end their careers, it's true. The fact is that they were not included in the national team and removed from bets. Well, how can a French woman who rents an apartment here live without receiving a penny? Not maybe. She already paid the rent herself, no one helped her, the federation did not help. This was the reason that they would not continue their professional careers. They don’t want to skate for that, «said the source. The President of the Figure Skating Federation on Russian skating Alexander Gorshkov explained that Zagorski/Gureiro «was not included in the national team and could not be physically included, because last year they did not take part in any competitions yah.» «It's not even technical. The Ministry of Sports has certain criteria, one of them is participation in competitions. This is the main factor,» the head of the federation added.
