Anton Sikharulidze has been appointed as acting head of the Russian Figure Skating Federation. He replaced Alexander Kogan, who, after the death of Alexander Gorshkov, combined the posts of president and general director of the FFKKR.

The Olympic champion will have a dialogue with the ISU on the return of domestic athletes to international competitions and the solution of difficult issues within the country. According to experts, he must cope with the tasks, since after the end of his sports career he was engaged in political activities and business for a long time.
