Figure skater Artem Kovalev said that he was expelled from the first training session.
“I ate ice. There was such a bad habit, yes. I hit the rink with my heel and smeared it on the glove. Or nibbled if the ice was big. That’s such a fetish,” he said in an interview with Sport24.
He also noted that he was a terrible gouging, he could gouge the ice and do nothing. For this, he was almost kicked out by the coach.
