Athletistic/Boxing. Two-time Olympic boxing champion Oleg Saitov shared his impressions of the boxing master class with Olympic figure skating champion Alina Zagitova, which took place on June 25 in Luzhniki as part of Moscow Sports Day. Saitov said that Zagitova is a talented student, but Alina does not need a career in boxing, and besides, it would be difficult for her because of the great attention to her person.

“Zagitova is a talented student. Figure skating is a sport in which there is nothing to do without coordination, I think so. Therefore, a person in any other sport can acquire skills. You explain and she understands immediately. Of course, you need to work even harder… She’s only been a month and a half. You can’t learn anything serious during this time, but the skills are already there. If she continues to practice, she’ll be fine. As for a career in boxing, you know, people come here at 10-12 years old. I think she could, but it would take a lot of time and effort and perseverance. Does she need? I don’t really think so. She already does. I think it would be difficult for her, because there’s too much attention. It would interfere in the ring,” Saitov said.
