“ISU will make every effort to have a world championship.
On December 10, the Council of the organization will discuss the holding of the European Championship: the situation in Croatia is not very good.
We have not completely abandoned the idea of holding the Grand Prix finals.
It was canceled in China, but the question of its holding is not closed.
Perhaps it will be possible to hold the finals in a different place: for this it is necessary to determine where and in what time frame, ”the Olympic channel quotes Lakernik.
He noted that the option of postponing the junior world championship was not even considered, and the European championship could be postponed.
“There are two questions here - is the tournament worth postponing and, if so, for what time frame?
Now there is an opportunity to move the dates of the tournament: there is no championship of the four continents, the junior world championship.
There are 2 months between the European and World Championships.
Perhaps there is a sense in the transfer if the situation does not improve, but either worsens, or is kept at the same level.
But these are all ideas.
The decision will be made by the ISU Council, ”added Lakernik.
The European Championships are to be held in Zagreb, Croatia from January 25 to 31, and the World Championships in Stockholm, Sweden from March 22 to 28.
Earlier it was reported that Evgenia Medvedeva will miss the Russian Figure Skating Championship.
