Minister of Sports of the Krasnoyarsk Territory Denis Petrovsky told that the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) highly appreciates the level of organization of the Russian Grand Prix stage.

The third stage of the Russian Grand Prix took place in Krasnoyarsk on October 28-29.

“It is important for us that the FFKKR very much appreciated the level of organization of the Grand Prix stage. In addition, given that this is not the first year that we have held major high-level figure skating competitions, this gives hope that in the future Krasnoyarsk will be able to claim to host similar competitions in one of the most popular sports. most popular in the country. . But this is the subject of further negotiations with the federation.

It is also important for us to know how the level of the organization and our city is assessed by judges, coaches and the athletes themselves. I know that many top skaters like to come to Krasnoyarsk; comfortable conditions have been created for them both in the establishment itself and upon arrival: there is a special photo location at the airport, and a branded bus takes them to the city from the air port. Excellent conditions in the arena itself, where everything is organized for the comfort of the athletes.

Our star couple of figure skaters Victoria Sinitsina and Nikita Katsalapov may have only participated in the opening ceremony of the Grand Prix stage, but both noted that they love Krasnoyarsk, for them the city is special, which became fateful, because they held their pre “Olympic training camp here and won gold in Beijing,” Petrovsky told .
