Coach Tarasova called ISU pests due to the non-admission of junior figure skaters

Russian figure skaters have found themselves in a desperate situation with admission to international tournaments due to the decision of the International Skating Union (ISU) to postpone the consideration of athletes' admission. This was announced on April 2 by Honored coach of the USSR Tatiana Tarasova.

"We are in a desperate situation. We are completely dependent on them. God forbid that you get into such a terrible addiction in the business that you love. The season starts in June, new rules, new music. How come? Are they pests at all?", Tarasova said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

According to the coach, the Russian figure skaters have no choice but to wait for the appointed date for a decision on admission.
