President of the Russian Skating Union Nikolai Guliaev told that this season the number of starts with prize money for the federation’s athletes will be increased.
Last season, prize money was only awarded in multi-event competitions.
— This year, cash prizes will be awarded at the Commonwealth Cup within the competition “Memory of BI Shavyrin”, at the Russian championships of the all-around speed skating and short track speed skating competition, as well as at the Russian Cup final. I would like to have more opportunities to increase the prize fund, we are working on it, although times are certainly difficult.
— Have you ever thought about offering a cash reward for the best result? For example, for the top 10 in the world rankings?
– This is an other story. In addition to the cash prize already announced, we would like to offer a cash prize for the most significant result. We are currently working on this idea,” Gulyaev told .
