President of the Russian Biathlon Union (RBR) Viktor Maygurov was pleased with his participation in the “Crystal” skating gala and admitted that he would like to try his hand at figure skating.
Maigurov took the start of the demonstration races at the Moscow gala “Crystal” in Krylatskoye, in which stars of other sports took part.
“For us, representatives of other sports, putting on skates is something new. Maybe it would have been easier for me because I’ve played hockey before. Speed skating is underestimated, little is known about it and large ice rinks are not available everywhere. If such events occur, the time is not far away when this will change. Mass skating, I know, is generally popular.
— What other sport would you like to try your hand at?
– In figure skating.
– Will it work?
— Basic exercises, basic jumps, lifts, I think so. When you know how to skate, it’s probably not difficult. In general, our biathletes are universal soldiers: they play football, volleyball, basketball, running, downhill skiing and swimming. “We can also play chess,” Maigurov told .
