Figure skating coach Maxim Trankov told about his first impressions of moving to a new training center Eteri Tutberidze .
On Wednesday, the first training session took place at the Tutberidze Center. In September, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin announced the completion of the construction of a figure skating center in Yasenevo. The facility was built five months ahead of schedule.
— I managed to evaluate the new center. Excellent conditions, last time I was unable to visit the arena, today I was impressed by the scale and convenience. It’s the best training arena I’ve ever been to in my entire life.
— Including foreigners?
— If we take training, then yes.
— Can you compare the new Eteri Tutberidze figure skating center with Khrustalny?
“Today, on my way to the new ice rink, I passed by Khrustalny, my heart skipped a beat. It’s expensive, comfortable, simple. The only drawback in Khrustalny was that there was no place to warm up as a couple, as the ceiling was low. It was impossible to practice the lifting, twisting and power elements. They’ve always tried to fence us off, but it’s always a substandard room. In all other respects, “Khrustalny” was excellent,” reports correspondent, reporting Trankov’s words.
