Olympic speed skating champion and now a deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Svetlana Zhurova spoke about the problems of the organizers of the America’s Cup in football, which was held in the United States. The final match of the tournament Argentina-Colombia started more than an hour late due to riots in front of the stadium.

Zhurova called on the organizers to follow Russia’s example.

“Countries that organize large-scale tournaments can benefit from our country’s experience. We organized the Sochi Olympics and the World Cup perfectly.

The start of the America’s Cup final has been delayed due to crowds.

During the pandemic, some games were transferred to us because countries could not cope with security measures. There were no questions for us. We are always open on this topic and ready to help, ”Zhurova is quoted by Sport-Express.
