Olympic figure skating champion Alina Zagitova She said she was satisfied with the recognition of her work.
Zagitova, 20, won the 2022 MarSpo Awards in the New Age Athlete nomination on Monday.
– Yesterday I was at the MarSpo Awards 2022 – awards in sport. The first part of my life was related only to sports. Practices, ice… Sweat and blood. Then I learned what sports journalism is (not to be confused with yellow!).
There are so many orbits around sports: journalists and proper PR, fans and working with the public, managers and managers… Yesterday I saw everyone behind Russian sports: leaders, marketers , responsible for public relations. So many amazing big projects!
Yesterday’s reward – arena, ice, soccer field, court – the “battlefield” of sports managers! This year I won the nomination “Athlete of the New Age” – the jury of the award gives it to athletes who are beginning to realize themselves in new roles.
Today, I am not only an athlete, but also a journalist. When my name was announced, important words were said that if in such a short time I managed to master a new profession, then maybe soon I will be able to become a sports official. I am extremely happy that my work has received such recognition.
I will continue to develop and promote the sport to the masses! It will take a lot to learn new things, but I am ready! — wrote the figure skater on social networks.
Zagitova is the first Russian figure skater to win the title of champion in all important tournaments: at the Olympics, World Championships, European Championships and the Grand Prix Series Final.
