Olympic figure skating champion Alexei Yagudin told that there have always been, are and will be many figure skaters in Russia.
According to the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation, 247 thousand people are officially involved in figure skating in the country in 2023.
— It used to be said that there are many lawyers and humanists in the country. Today, we hear more and more often that there are too many skateboarders in the country. You don’t think so?
— We have always had, have and will have many skaters. I will say this: it’s better than anyone! You know, I’ve always used sporting terms: we have a long bench. Like in hockey and football. This means our system works – and it works very well. We continue to develop talents,” Yagudin told .
