Winner and Laureate of Speed Skating World Cup Stages Artem Arefiev believes that his sport is underestimated by the general public, and sets out to correct this through his video blog.
At the moment, Russian skaters, in the context of the situation in Ukraine, are suspended from international competitions.
– Now a lot of young guys have come, they are quite promising and potentially in a few years they can tighten the backbone of the national team. The current situation helps us to train together, it is the possibility of progress for beginners and the reluctance of elders to give up their leadership positions,” Arefyev told reporters, answering the question of how to maintain motivation in These conditions.
— I am motivated by one of the best media projects related to skating in Russia. I would even say, in recent years. This is my professionally run YouTube channel. Each issue is filmed on 4-5 cameras and sent for professional editing. A lot of effort is invested in this project, the whole team is involved. It can be a good alternative for someone to learn something about our sport, because people say our sport is the most underrated of the Olympic sports. My task in this project is to correct this situation. I would just like to see some sort of support from the existing structures, because the only thing missing from this project now is attention, the rest of it is almost perfectly done there,” Arefiev added.
