Olympic champion Yuri Borzakovsky spoke about his attitude towards the arrival of athletes from other sports in track and field.
Former figure skater Alexandra Trousova took part in the junior competitions in the long jump, which took place within the framework of the Week of Athletics in Moscow, and took the last place.
– I fully support the initiative of Trusova, she did well, she tried herself in another sport. I heard she was planning on doing another pole vault. Let’s see if it works or not. But in my opinion, it’s diverse, and that’s great. Sasha is now in a positive mood. The fact that she improved the result with each attempt can only rejoice. She has potential in athletics, she can take her place.
This contributes to the popularization of athletics, such a famous athlete from the world of figure skating came to another sport. This is a huge plus for Sasha and for our sport. Our daughters were delighted to have such a person with us.
– Athletes are not offended that all the attention is given to him?
– Everything is in the hands of any athlete, if you want to be popular – show the results. It is in every athlete’s interest to show good results and be popular. Her presence is an incentive for the guys to train, do athletics and follow her as a world-class athlete.
– would like to Chcherbakova , Valiev Have you tried athletics?
“Of course why not? We have a lot of sports in general. Even I have a collaboration with football, I play in the media team. It’s good. Yesterday I watched Dynamo – Amkal, Ovechkin scored a goal, great, – Borzakovsky told reporters.
