Winners of the recent Rostelecom Cup and reigning European champions Aleksandra Boikova and Dmitrii Kozlovskii have withdrawn from this weekend’s fifth stage of the Cup of Russia series.
The Figure Skating Federation of Russia announced that the couple has withdrawn because Boikova caught a cold. It is noted that both of the skaters’ coronavirus tests came back negative.
Several other skaters have already withdrawn from the competition this week – Alena Kostornaia, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, and Dmitri Aliev tested positive for COVID-19.
The fifth and final stage of this season’s Cup of Russia series takes place from December 5 to 8 in Moscow, and the Russian National Championship will be held from December 24 to 27 in Chelyabinsk.
