Zhurova said that it was more difficult to build a sports career than a political
The Olympic champion in speed skating and State Duma deputy Svetlana Zhurova compared sports and political careers. Her words are given by RIA Novosti.
Zhurova admitted that it is more difficult to build a sports career than political. “In politics, you can always correct the error, recognize it and go further. And in sports, fixing a mistake can be practically impossible, since you are given one chance, ”she said.
The deputy noted that the sports career helped her quickly enter the political environment. “Sport gave certain skills: I had to fly, not sleep and overcome long distances. Sports and politics requires psychological stability, ”Zhurova explained.
Zhurova is the winner of the 2006 Games, a two-time world champion. The athlete began a political career in March 2007 as a deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the Leningrad Region. Six months later, she was elected to the State Duma of the Russian Federation, where he works to the present.
