Three-time world champion snowboarder Dmitry Loginov in a conversation with a correspondent, he said that the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation and the Russian Snowboard Federation provide athletes with the necessary equipment and there are no problems with the foreign equipment.
Last October, following a meeting of the Presidential Council for the Development of Physical Culture and Sport, Vladimir Putin instructed the government to achieve a gradual reduction in dependence on imported sports products, by taking into account the needs of these products and the capabilities of Russian manufacturers. .
— Is snowboarding expensive?
– Yes. Thank God they give us equipment, the Ministry of Sports and the Federation do not offend us. Maybe not so fast, the boards are sent last. Now the new ones have just arrived, and already half the season has passed, we were riding the old ones.
— Are there any difficulties in obtaining foreign material? One way or another you buy something yourself.
— None, there are stores that bring goods from Europe. The guys there are always in touch, will help you and offer you a huge choice. We don’t need anything.
—Has something worthy of us appeared? Many began to move towards import substitution.
— We have Russian snowboard brands. But this, of course, does not suit our level. More for the kids, but still, guys try to do it. But, I repeat, not at World Cup level. For now,” Loginov told .
