Double Olympic champion in 2014 and today figure skating coach Maxim Trankov was named, according to him, the most popular sport in Russia.
Trankov, 40, danced on ice with Tatyana Volosozhar. Now he is engaged in coaching.
— Each fan has their own discipline and their own number one sport. If I like football, it’s the number one sport for me. In Russia, a large number of people also watch hockey and figure skating. In our country, these three disciplines along with biathlon are the most popular, and it makes no sense to compare them. We have a huge army of fans who love sports! — Sport24 quotes Trankov.
