Athletistic/ Figure skating. Irina Rodnina, three-time Olympic champion, believes that it is not necessary to call the Russian school of figure skating the strongest in the world.

“Many representatives from our school compete for other countries. At the 1992 Olympics, literally all the athletes were from our school. I see nothing wrong with our athletes representing other teams.

I don’t want to waste the “best” setting. If you don’t pat yourself on the back, no one will, that’s understandable. The Russian school is really very strong. But I wouldn’t say she’s the best. In some ways she is better, in others worse,” Rodnina said in an interview with Match TV.
