The International Skating Union has apologized for nominating a Holocaust-themed outfit worn by Russian skater Anton Shulepov for best costume.
The International Skating Union is likely to be a lot more careful in the future before it posts award nominations. This after the organization said it accidentally put a Holocaust-themed costume up for an honor.
During a Grand Prix of Figure Skating event last month in Sapporo, Japan, Russian skater Anton Shulepov performed his free-skate routine in an outfit that was offensive. Worn while Shulepov skated to music from “Schindler’s List,” the costume featured a yellow Star of David, jail stripes and other elements of uniforms worn in Nazi concentration camps.the nominees for its 2019 skating awards this week, Shulepov’s objectionable ensemble made the short list for best costume.
The ISU has since issued an apology, saying it nominated the Auschwitz-themed costume by accident and really meant to honor the red-and-black blazer/turtleneck ensemble Shulepov wore during the short program at the same event.

“This error has been corrected and the ISU sincerely apologizes for this mistake and the bad sentiments it has caused,” the organization
