The Minister of Sports of Tatarstan did not rule out holding the Russian Figure Skating Grand Prix at the Ak Bars stadium.

Minister of Sports of the Republic of Tatarstan Vladimir Leonov did not rule out holding the Russian Figure Skating Grand Prix at the Tatneft Arena stadium in Kazan.

The Kazan Sports Palace, where the Grand Prix stage takes place every year, can accommodate 3.5 thousand people, the Tatneft Arena – almost nine thousand spectators.

— We traditionally organize the tournament at the Palais des Sports and objectively note a great demand from spectators and the media. That is why we thought about holding these competitions in the future in the more spacious Tatneft Arena, where the biggest ice shows have already taken place several times.

We are ready to submit such a proposal to the Russian Figure Skating Federation. I think this will definitely raise the level of the tournament even more. It is still held at the highest level, but if there is an opportunity to attract more spectators and thus give even more motivation to the athletes, then this opportunity should not be neglected, Leonov quotes RT.
