On Sunday, in St. Petersburg, the “Flagstaff Ice Rink” opened its doors; this ice rink has become the largest in the city, a correspondent reported on site.
The area of the ice rink is 11,400 square meters. Olympic silver medalists perform at the opening ceremony Evgenia Tarasova And Vladimir Morozov , who previously announced his retirement from professional sports. The skaters performed their program to the song “Sansara” by Basta, after which they held a master class and an autograph session.
“We have a wonderful tradition of welcoming winter with the opening of an ice rink. Today we will open an expanded ice rink. We performed a miracle by quadrupling the ice rink. Our ice rink is unique, there are no such fantastic views anywhere else. We see the Gulf of Finland, the Gazprom Arena, the Lakhta Center, the Oasis Center. We do everything to immerse you in the New Year and Christmas atmosphere. In a year, we will open the largest ice rink in the world.
The part of the rink we had was intended for recreation. And the new part of the site is already a sport. We have a unique rink: views, everything is close, it feels like you’re in the city, but it feels like you’re out of town.
It’s no fun going in circles, but we have quite a journey. The shape of the rink is its strong point. The quality of the ice cream is very good. We build the rink before everyone else and close when everyone is no longer working. Last year they kept the ice at +16,” the correspondent reports, according to Igor Krasnov, general director of the Flagstaff ice rink.
