Athletistic/Figure skating. Russian figure skater Alina Zagitova has expressed support for current Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to participate in the upcoming presidential elections in March 2024.

“President Vladimir Vladimirovich has always supported sport and that is why I also support him. As an athlete, I can say that sport is developing and I greatly appreciate his efforts,” Zagitova told the agency press office of the city of Moscow.

Putin’s decision to participate in the elections, scheduled for March 15-17, was announced in late 2023.

Zagitova, 21, was born in May 2002, when Putin was already president of Russia in his first term.
