Three-time Olympic synchronized swimming champion Alla Shishkina believes that currently sport in the world is not as cultivated as during the existence of the USSR, and also called Elena Vialba the heroine of several generations of fans.
— The most popular video on your Youtube channel is an interview with Elena Vyalba, head of the Russian Ski Racing Federation. Is there an explanation for this?
– I think so. She is the heroine of several generations. When she was a skier herself, she is remembered by many adults. For the youngest, she is an example of a leader. I think it was interesting for those involved in winter sports to watch the responses from the head of the federation. She was a megastar when she performed. Now there is no such cult of sports as in the USSR, because there are bloggers, tiktokers. Previously, there was a cult of athletes. Therefore, I think as a person she is very attractive to people,” Shishkina said in an interview with Sport24.
Shishkina is 32 years old, she is a triple Olympic champion in collective exercises (2012, 2016, 2020), 14 times world champion, six-time European champion. Vyalbe has also won the Olympics three times and won world championship gold 14 times.
