Followers, journalists and ISU members had been allowed to vote for his or her candidate by February 10, earlier than a committee comprised of well-known determine skaters shortlisted the highest three candidates in every nomination.

The inaugural ceremony was set to happen in Montreal through the 2020 ISU World Championship, however was rescheduled for July after the worldwide occasion was canceled because of the coronavirus disaster.

On Monday, the ISU launched the ceremony’s trailer, that includes skaters chosen for nominations, which surprisingly handed over Zagitova. The actual fact didn’t go unnoticed by the skater’s followers, who bombarded the ISU’s social media pages with indignant messages accusing the governing physique of disrespect, a biased strategy and even of corruption.

Later, Ari Zakarian, the organizer of the inaugural ceremony, confirmed that Zagitova didn’t enter the top-three checklist of nominees, citing some unclear issues with the skater’s crew, apparently referring to technical moments they did not settle along with her representatives.

Zakarian’s assertion led to an uproar amongst Zagitova’s supporters, who advised that he purposely excluded Zagitova from the nominees, being an agent of her rival Evgenia Medvedeva.

“She would possibly quickly take a pause but it surely does not imply that she brings much less to determine skating! I’ve began to observe determine skating solely after her Olympic black swan as many of the mates? And NOW, CURRENT RUNNING OLYMPIC AND WORLD CHAMPION IS NOT IN THE VIDEO?! REALLY? Disgrace on ISU,” one particular person wrote

“Are you okay? You don’t know the reigning Olympic champion Alina Zagitova?” yet another remark learn.
“Why is Alina Zagitova not within the video? The present Olympic Champion, World Champion and essentially the most titled determine skater of our time in ladies’s single skating!! Disgrace!!!!” one other person added.

“Disgrace on you, Mr Zakarian. We don’t need your faux award. No Alina, no get together,” Zagitova’s fan wrote.

“We should always have anticipated this! There might be no unbiased vote within the ceremony organized by Zakarian.”
‘Sure, in fact Medvedeva will win, bravo Zakarian” yet another remark mentioned.

Neither the ISU nor Zagitova have commented on the scenario, which they in all probability don’t deal with fairly as tragically as Zagitova’s supporters, who even created the hashtag #WeVotedForAlinaZagitova.
