Athletistic/Figure skating. Olympic runner-up and three-time Olympic champion Irina Rodnina shared her opinion on the current influence of figure skaters, answering the question of whether they are the most influential athletes in the country.

“They are of great importance for the country. Of course, without competitions it is difficult to say how much they are the best in the world. But they are very popular and strong as individuals. Of course, the “Greatness of an individual must be confirmed by work, go on the ice and achieve the best results. And what do footballers do? Figure skaters today enjoy much more love than footballers”, noted Rodnina in an interview with a Sport24 correspondent.
