Ivan Bukin: I hope we can compete in international competitions
The skater, who skates in a pair with Alexandra Stepanova, is sure that the Russians should be at such tournaments.
Ivan Bukin told what his dream is.
"I hope that things will get better and we will be able to compete in international competitions. I'm sure we should be there. I'm watching the world championship now. It's been a long time since there were no Russian athletes. I'm eager to go out and compete in these global tournaments - European and World Championships. God willing, at the Olympics. It's a very, very, very different atmosphere of the competition" he said.
The skater also said that he and his partner missed the competition, and they want to feel the competitive spirit, the preparation.
