“I fully support Trusova’s initiative, she did well, she tried herself in another sport. This contributes to the popularization of athletics, a famous athlete from the world of figure skating came to another sport. I would like Shcherbakova and Valieva to try their hand at athletics? Of course, why not,” Borzakovsky said.
