In the sports world, there is a growing movement to exclude Russia, which has invaded Ukraine, and Belarusian players who supported it from international competitions. The Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA) and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) have announced that they will be totally banned from participating in tournaments hosted by Russian national teams and club teams. UEFA and Schalke 04 of the German Second Division have decided to terminate the sponsorship contract for the Russian government-affiliated company Gazprom.
The International Skating Union has decided not to allow athletes and officers from both countries to participate in international competitions such as figures and speed indefinitely. In particular, Russia is a powerhouse of figure skating girls, and it caused ripples before the world championship that started on the 23rd. (Joint)
