St. Petersburg, August 12, Boris Khodorovsky. Figure skater Elizaveta Nugumanova said that for the first time he hears about the interest in her from the Latvian federation and intends to perform only under the Russian flag. Previously, 19-year-old Nugumanova spoke about insults from the coaches of the group Evgeny Rukavitsyn about being overweight. On Thursday, the coach of the St. Petersburg Figure Skating Academy, Elena Sokolova, announced that the figure skater would train in her team. “This is the first time I hear about this!” Nugumanova answered a question about interest from the Latvian federation. “My grandfather worked as a figure skating coach in Riga, Dad played hockey for Dynamo Riga, but they didn’t offer me anything in Latvia. Initially, I didn’t consider this option. I will only play under the Russian flag.”
