Former president of Lokomotiv football club Olga Smorodskaya told that she disagreed with the statement of the head coach of the Russian figure skating team, Elena Tchaikovskaya, regarding visitors to football matches and the popularity of the sport.
On Friday, Tchaikovsky said that “figure skating is such a sport that people do not come to us by chance. It’s not football, where there’s beer and shouting.
– She is wrong. Drinking beer in stadiums is still not allowed. And I think that’s absolutely right, because you can drink beer outside the fence. It speaks of a momentary emotion. And so she understands everything perfectly. Yes, figure skating is also popular, it has its own audience and there are a lot of them, but this does not mean that football is not the most popular sport, Smorodskaya told .
The next stage of the Russian Figure Skating Grand Prix will take place on November 18-19 in Samara.
