Olympic medalist in figure skating Alexandre Enbert told that he was happy to learn more about speed skating, but he wouldn’t have dared to put on skates.
Enbert took part in the Moscow gala “Crystal” on Thursday, which took place in Krylatskoye. The skater began show racing on hockey skates, not speed skating.
“I can do anything on figure skates.” I put on my hockey shoes, they’re no longer comfortable, there’s no heel, no teeth either. Therefore, I would not even try to get up on speed skates, if my heel also lags behind the boot, it will be like football on sand.
— What are your general impressions of your participation?
— I decided to participate in this show to learn more about speed skating in order to open myself up to it. It’s clear that it’s always interesting to watch the biggest competitions, but the show format is more of an opportunity for communication and knowledge. Not everyone is as tense as in competition, we approach and ask a few questions – how to start, how to finish. I met all kinds of nice guys,” Enbert told .
