Tensions in perspective in the world of skating. According to an internal source at the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FSFR), cited by the agency TASS, a Russian delegation will travel to Japan next month to attend an International Skating Union (ISU) conference. “ Official representatives of our federation will participate in the ISU conference », assured Alexander Kogan, the director general of the national body. The ISU conference is scheduled to be held on the sidelines of the 2023 World Figure Skating Championships in Saitama, Japan (March 20-26). Russia and Belarus were suspended by the ISU, just one week after the start of the invasion of Ukraine, from all figure skating, speed skating and short track competitions. Last June, the body's congress decided to extend the exclusion of the two countries until further notice.
