“I have a positive attitude towards the opening of the school. It is very important that our exceptional athletes return to sport as teachers and mentors. It makes a huge difference. Yesterday I was at the Evgeni Plushenko Academy and saw how many children study there. It is clear that he himself takes great pleasure in his work.
Previously, we organized “Land of Champions” competitions. Many children would like to take part in competitions named after Alexander Karelin, Alina Zagitova or Alexey Nemov. Such competitions will be more focused and each champion will pay special attention to them, since these are their personal competitions. Children always respond to increased attention and interest in them,” Rodnina was quoted as saying by Tatar-inform.
Earlier, the Minister of Sports of the Republic of Tatarstan, Vladimir Leonov, said that Alina Zagitova does not plan to move to Kazan, where a figure skating school bearing her name is expected to open in the coming years. According to Leonov, Zagitova will not participate in the project on a permanent basis.
