MOSCOW, September 22, Vlad Zhukov. Management of the Figure Skating Federation Russian Skating Club (FFKKR) refused to allow Russian Dario Chirisano, who performs in ice dancing, to join the Italian national team, said the athlete’s former partner, Czech Denisa Tsimlova.
Cirizano formed a couple with Tsimlova last winter. After some time, the skaters tried to join the Czech national team, but the FFKKR did not give Chirisano permission to change sports citizenship. In the summer, a source said that the skater was one of the likely partners for the Russian figure skater Vasilisa Kaganovskaya. On Friday it became known that the Tsimlova/Cirizano couple had broken up.
““Unfortunately, Russia did not let Dario go either to the Czech Republic or to Italy,” Tsimlova wrote on social networks. “That’s why we couldn’t skate together. It was a shock for us. I will support Dario in Russia, and, of course , we remain friends.»
