Athletistic / Football. Famous Russian coach Anatoly Byshovets commented on the words of former figure skater Irina Rodnina. She previously said that figure skating and hockey are the main sports in Russia.

“Rodnina’s position, which I know well, has its place. On one condition: figure skating is tournaments that take place several times a year, and football is three games a week. What is three and a half minutes of performance? I’m married to a figure skater and I know Rodnina. They’re different sports.

In terms of injuries, football ranks first. Football does not bring together 10,000 spectators, but 30,000, 50,000 each.

As for the comparative characteristics of our football with foreign football, there is justice here – the number of matches. We have it less than abroad. It is incomparable in terms of popularity. If we talk about figure skating, we have one advantage – these are skates and winter. Figure skating is a national sport,” Vprognoze quotes.
