Heraklion Foundation Senior Vice President Mikhail Butov said the figure skater Alexandra Trousova will not be the only representative of another sport attracted to participate in athletic competitions.
The All-Russian Athletics Federation (VFLA) has confirmed ‘s information that 2022 Olympics silver medalist Trusova will take part in Moscow Athletics Week in the discipline of long jump on the day jumps being scheduled for June 9th.
“Recruiting athletes from other sports often works well. I tried several times to do it myself, but it didn’t work. I am happy that VFLA has succeeded now. And I’m going to reveal a little secret: the list won’t end with Trusova, there will be more surprises.
But getting spectators to the stadium is half the battle. I think that at least initially they will come to the stands, but we can already wonder if we can keep them. We already have to work on that. By the way, I heard that in basketball after the departure of foreign athletes, oddly enough, there were more spectators, interest increased. This is probably related to the whole current situation, but it is important not to miss this momentum, quotes RT Butov.
Trusova, who turns 18 on June 23, is a bronze medalist at the 2021 World Championships, a double bronze medalist at the European Championships (2020, 2022) and a double world junior champion (2018, 2019). At the 2022 Olympics, she was the first in history to be able to perform five quadruple jumps in a free program without falling.
