Athletistic/ Others. In February, the All-Russian Spartakiad of the strongest winter sports took place. Many people are interested in the topic of prize money in these competitions. Olympic speed skating champion and now deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation from the United Russia party Svetlana Zhurova spoke about this.

– Is it fair for the state to pay bonuses to athletes at the Spartakiad as at the World Championships? Why not? You know, I will say more, in the Soviet Union they gave an apartment for winning the Spartakiad. Is this the equivalent? – Zhurova said in “Sport Day by Day”.
