Russia was deprived of the right to host a prestigious figure skating tournament.
For the first time since 1996, the Grand Prix in figure skating will not take place in Russia.
The Moscow stage is not in the calendar for the new season, which was published on July 14 by the International Skating Union (ISU). The Finnish Espoo will be the new venue for the stage on November 25-27.
Recall that on February 24, Russian President Putin made an urgent statement about conducting a special military operation on the territory of Ukraine, launching a large-scale invasion of Ukrainian cities..
After that, Russian sports began to plunge into complete isolation.. There are practically no federations left that have not excluded the Russians from their competitions.
