«Cowardice and weakness»: Laishev — about the cancellation of Trusova's master class in Sweden

MOSCOW, July 22, Alexander Sergeev. Head of the Sambo-70 Education Center Renat Laishev said that the Swedish Figure Skating Federation acted cowardly by canceling the master classes of the Russian figure skater Alexandra Trusova in Stockholm. Earlier on Friday, it became known about the cancellation of the master class of the athlete in Sweden. From the statement of the local figure skating federation it follows that joint activities with athletes from Russia and Belarus can damage the reputation of Swedish figure skating. «Discrimination against all Russians continues. This indicates their cowardice and weakness. We will still be better in different areas of activity and types sports. That we are the best in figure skating has been proven by us for centuries. They only rob themselves, as in all other areas. They only lose from this. This is the truth as old as the world. We will still win. And the girls we have good fellows and beauties. They should not lose heart, everything will be fine,» Laishev said.
