– What are your feelings about today’s holidays?
“This is the second year that I have taken part in an event of this magnitude. It’s always a pleasure to be invited to speak here. Therefore, only positive emotions.
– You are a frequent guest at hockey games, especially SKA games. What can you say about your attitude towards this sport?
– I have been saying for a long time that my father is a hockey coach, a former professional hockey player. That is why, since childhood, I have been instilled with the love of hockey.
– Were there “creeps” directly in the game – to ride, play, try on a uniform?
– As a child, I used to go out on the ice with my father and my sister. Dad taught us how to use a club properly, how to circle. It’s very difficult actually. I thought, “No, hockey is definitely not my thing. I just sat on the podium and watched.
– When you sit in the stands, do you enjoy the game of SKA?
– Certainly. I’m always motivated by the game. I don’t like it when they fight on the ice. I wish it was less. But it is interesting and spectacular. All viewers like to watch hockey, ” correspondents report Zagitova’s remarks at the SKA event.
