“The symbiosis between the best athletes of different sports and the stars of show business is pleasant.” Privalova – about races on Nikolskaya

First Vice-President of the All-Russian Athletics Federation (ARAF) Irina Privalova told that she was pleased with the symbiosis between the best athletes in athletics, figure skating, chess and football and stars of show business during exhibition races on Nikolskaya.

On Tuesday, demonstration races were held on Nikolskaya Street in Moscow as part of Athletics Week. Athletes and show business stars competed in distances of 60 meters and 60 meters with hurdles.

“The fact that we have started organizing such competitions is a positive development. Many thanks to the organizers and sports of Moscow for being able to organize the race again in such a place – near the Kremlin, it is worth a lot. I am happy that such a symbiosis occurs between the greatest athletes of track and field, figure skating, chess, football and stars of show business.

Not everyone is ready to watch a marathon, but sprinters’ starts are more spectacular and watchable. The marathon interests either specialists or those who run to surpass themselves. Sprint and hurdles are complex technical events, they contain tension and intrigue, because an athlete can always break down this barrier,” Privalova told .
