Figure skating school named after Olympic champion Alina Zagitova in Kazan will be built on the site of the Vodnik football stadium, according to the website of the Committee of the Republic of Tatarstan for the Protection of Cultural Heritage Objects.
The construction of an ice palace covered with artificial ice named after Zagitova in Kazan is planned at the address: st. Portovaya, 2, where Vodnik is located. The land plot has an area of 1.529 hectares. During the study, it was found that it is located outside the protection zones of cultural heritage sites.
In November 2023, Tatarstan’s First Deputy Minister of Sports Khalil Shaikhutdinov said that construction of Zagitova’s school should begin in 2024.
Zagitova is 22 years old and won gold at the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeongchang. The athlete has also won victories at the World and European Championships. In 2019, she put her career on hold.
