Athletistic/ Figure Skating. Not so long ago it became known that Olympic figure skating champion Alina Zagitova has mastered a new sport. It’s boxing. She plans to organize a boxing match.

Zagitova was invited to the Russian women’s boxing team to train. Team coach Albert Mutalibov spoke about it.

– Boxing has never harmed anyone, if we are not talking about professional sports, but about classes to improve health. Everything is useful within reason. Zagitova is a professional athlete and, of course, quite well prepared.

Considering the fact that figure skating belongs to the category of complex coordination sports, I think it will be easy for him to learn boxing skills and techniques. Perhaps in time she would be able to fight light combat, – TASS quoted Mutalibov as saying.
