The team world championship in figure skating, which will be held in Tokyo, will be a great chance for Russian athletes to put a decent point at the end of the pre-Olympic season. This opinion was expressed by the president of the Federation of figure skating in Russia (FFKKR) Alexander Gorshkov.

On Monday, the press service of FFKKR announced the composition of the team for the upcoming tournament. The team included two-time world champion Evgenia Medvedeva, Elena Radionova, Maxim Kovtun, Mikhail Kolyada, Evgenia Tarasova's couple and Vladimir Morozov and the dance duet Ekaterina Bobrova and Dmitry Solovyov.

"In the global sense, the result of the Russian team can not affect the rating of our athletes in any way, since the forthcoming tournament has a commercial status, and it differs significantly from the Olympic team tournament in format, but for each of our figure skaters, these competitions are a good chance to put a worthy point in the end Season ", - noted Gorshkov.
