The song Sonne by Rammstein was removed from the program of figure skater Taisiya Proskuryakova. She told Match TV about this.
The day before, on September 23, the athlete performed a short program to a song by a German band at the Irina Raber Memorial tournament in Moscow. As Match TV notes, they later decided to remove the song Sonne from Proskuryakova’s program.
When asked by a reporter about the reasons for refusing the song, the skater replied that it was “a decision of the coaching staff.”
Earlier, the coach of figure skater Pyotr Gumennik, Veronika Daineko, said that her student was not allowed to perform at the test skates of the Russian national team to a friend's song Rammstein — Mein Herz Brennt, as it was “unpatriotic.”
