CSKA player Konstantin Kuchaev compared the popularity of football and figure skating in Russia. His words are reported by Sport-Express.
The midfielder of the Moscow club said that there is more interest in football than in figure skating. “But I still have a circle of friends – mostly football players and people who follow him,” he said.
25-year-old Kuchaev has been playing for CSKA since 2017. In the current season of the Russian Premier League, he played 11 matches, in which he scored two goals and five assists.

But let’s remember that any sport is hard as hell, ”she said and added that football and figure skating are currently at about the same level of interest among Russian viewers.
