The Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) is awaiting confirmation from the leadership of the country's regions about their readiness to hold the stages of the Russian Cup, the president of the organization, Alexander Gorshkov, told RIA Novosti.
The International Skating Union (ISU) has decided to hold a series of Grand Prix with restrictions. Earlier, the Honorary President of the FFKKR Valentin Piseev expressed the opinion that in this regard the role of the Russian Cup is increasing, at the stages of which the leading figure skaters of the country are expected to participate.
“We are working on the calendar of the Russian Cup stages, but we need regional leaders to confirm that they are ready to host these competitions. Today the question is still with Krasnoyarsk, because it is very far away. The possibility of reducing the risk for athletes due to flights is being considered ", - said Gorshkov over the phone.
