“Even at the highest level, there are skaters who don’t do OFP” – Coach

Master of world-class sports in athletics, trainer of general physical preparation at the Academy of Figure Skating (St. Petersburg) Olga Belkina said that she saw examples where top skaters did not include general physical preparation in their sports preparation for the season.

— I will rely on my practice. I can say that, of course, there are such skaters, and, in principle, by the way they behave, you can say yes. But this directly depends on the skater himself, his health, physical form and data. Without a doubt, the work of the coach and choreographer. There are such examples even among our top athletes,” Belkina told the Championship.
