Ice Age choreographer: «I agree that football should be closed»

The director of «Ice Age», two-time world champion Maxim Stavisky in an interview with «SE» spoke about the development of football and figure skating in Russia.

— In America in the late 90s, figure skating collapsed very quickly. Can you be afraid of this in Russia?

— Yes, it happened really quickly for them. Here I agree with Garik Kharlamov. When ours once again flew in football, he said: «Maybe we should close football? Brazilians do not ski or play hockey. They don’t have that kind of sport. » We have figure skating, it is directly a national sport, o-sporte.vladimovmotorsport.com.ua where Russia and the Soviet Union have always been at the top. So we must go further, make it even stronger. You don’t even need to do it, it is already there. We must support him.

— In the realities of state sports in Russia, «to support» means «give money.»

— And we do not mind. (Laughs.) Always in favor. Our problem is that the groups do not have enough ice, the hall, there is a confrontation with hockey. On the other hand, news.all4sport.com.ua ice rinks are being built, they grow like mushrooms after rain. There are more of them, but there are no fewer walking people either — in figure skating, hockey, even short track speed skating.
