Olympic figure skating champion Anna Shcherbakova in an interview with , she said that she could not yet work in a hockey club as a skating consultant, because she was not very familiar with hockey skates.
Shcherbakova flew for two days to the Far North to perform with an indicative number and participate in the season opener of the Norilsk hockey team. On Saturday, September 2, Norilsk will play a home game against Neftyanik from Almetyevsk – this will be the Norilsk club’s first game in big hockey.
– Anna, what hooked you to Taimyr? What are the first impressions?
— Of course, Norilsk is amazing and there are good sports facilities here. The main hall of the “Ayka” sports complex can be transformed for any event. It’s very cool that there is a place where everyone can always meet, there are a lot of different activities. Everyone will find their happiness there. I popped in here and liked it.
– You recently played at the presentation of HC SKA, now you have come to the season opener of HC Norilsk. Does hockey now have a special place in your life?
– Before that, I couldn’t say that I was an avid hockey fan. My parents love to watch the main games, both football and hockey. Also, in our childhood, we used to get together with the whole family and could turn on the hockey broadcast. We were looking for a beautiful and interesting game.
But now I happen to have connected to hockey. Because I play with demo numbers at hockey events. I think it will help me to pay more attention to this sport. Watch more matches and follow an interesting game.
– If a hockey club offered you the position of consultant to skating players, would you agree? After all, figure skaters have perfect skating, everyone knows that.
“I haven’t given anyone such advice yet. But there’s a feeling that if I get on hockey skates, I’m going to need a consultant myself. Because they are very different from curly – blades and teeth are different. So, I think we differ a bit here on inventory, – Shcherbakova told .
Shcherbakova is the champion of the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, as well as the winner of the 2021 World Championships in Stockholm.
