Former figure skater and current coach Alena Leonova believes that the level of Russian figure skating is much higher than that of the world.
— I think we already have very strong competition in Russia. And when our athletes competed internationally, they fought with themselves, with each other. The level of Russian skating is now much higher than the world level.
I don’t know what foreign athletes lose. Maybe they are happy. Surely they will be interested in watching the Russian championship. I think they follow all our starts, they also watched the Grand Prix stages,” Leonova told Gazeta.Ru.
The Russian Figure Skating Championship will be held in Krasnoyarsk from December 22 to 25.
