110m hurdles world champion Sergei Shubenkov in an interview with , he said that in Russia sport is more bad than good, if you generally assess the situation in all its forms.
The Russian athletics championship was held from August 2 to 5 in Cheboksary. Shubenkov again won the tournament in his program type.
– In some types of programs, the Russian athletics championship was stronger than the world championship in terms of results. Do you agree?
“Only, maybe in a few species,” Shubenkov told . – It is, of course, Angelica Sidorova. And also Masha Lasitskene, whose performance I watched. She showed an excellent result on 2 meters. But in general, I don’t have a very good impression of the Russian championships in a long-term trend. There are fewer and fewer participants in the Russian Championship every year, and the results are generally worse from year to year. There are only separate bright spots that cancel out the general pessimism. If we take the general temperature in the hospital as a whole, then everything in our country with sports is rather bad than good.
Every year there is an exodus of athletes in track and field, but track and field is just one example. The sport is becoming less and less interesting for the general public.
