Olympic speed skating champion, State Duma deputy Svetlana Jourova in a comment for Sport24, she proposed creating a figure skating league in Russia, independent of international federations.
“We must strive to develop the sports in which we are strong. Why not create a figure skating league in Russia, where the best skaters from all countries would come? Make it an independent tournament, like the NHL. We need to develop sports using similar technologies.
The NHL is a very good example. We need to carry out similar projects in figure skating. Then everyone will want to come to us and compete with the best. We need to devote time and energy to national sports projects and not constantly think about the IOC,” Zhurova said.
