Athletistic / Football. Former Lokomotiv President Olga Smorodskaya commented on the recognition of figure skater Kamila Valieva as athlete of the year. Previously, VTsIOM reported that the majority of survey participants voted for Valieva. The top three also included skier Alexander Bolshunov and hockey player Alexander Ovechkin.

“Why didn’t they vote for the players in the Athlete of the Year nomination? Now there’s such an idea in public opinion that the players don’t do anything, they just sit and collect money with shovels. I categorically disagree with this opinion. Therefore, they vote for skaters who skate beautifully and actively manage social networks.

Anfisa Reztsova – on the recognition of Valieva as the athlete of the year: “If I were Bolshunov, I would be offended”

Do figure skating and winter sports dominate football in Russia? Of course not. Now there is a season of winter sports, “Ice Age”, which very well popularizes figure skating in Russia. Figure skating is very strong in terms of media, so people always hear about it,” Sport24 Smorodskaya quotes.
