Athletistic/ Figure skating. Recently, there has been a serious politicization of the Olympic Games. Three-time Olympic champion and deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Irina Rodnina spoke about it. She believes that this has always been the case.

– The Olympic Games have always been politicized, if you read a little history. Literally from the second Olympic Games of our time, boycotts began. Is it politics or not? Another question is that everything changes in the world: people’s interests, sports.

For today’s youth, traditional Olympic sports may not be a priority. So there must be some changes. It seems to me that the Olympic movement has lost itself in its own ideals and principles, which it itself instills. Because of this, the course is disrupted – the landmark is lost,” Rodnina said in “Championship”.
