According to ‘FS Gossips’ on the 14th, Sotnikova said, “I respect Yuna Kim. However, the hatred of the fans was (in the past) true, and is still there (today). I don’t know how long it will last,” he said.
‘FS Gossips’ is an SNS account whose influence is recognized enough to be followed by the International Skating Federation. “My thoughts on Yuna Kim are the same (from a long time ago). She also introduced Sotnikova, a figure skater worthy of capitalization, who did everything she could for the national team.”

Sotnikova is a gold medalist at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. Although she extended her reach into the Russian Empire and Soviet times, she rewrote Russian Olympic history as the first female figure skating singles champion.
Yuna Kim won a silver medal at the Sochi Olympics, where she participated as a defending champion. She said from the time that she was ‘a great performance, like she won two contests in a row’.
“They don’t understand[me],” Sotnikova said. It doesn’t bother me at all,” she said, emphasizing that she’s not affected in any way by the hatred she receives from Yuna Kim’s fans.
