Tatarstan Minister of Sports Vladimir Leonov answered questions about the construction of the figure skating school of the Olympic champion Alina Zagitova. His words are given by RIA Novosti.

Leonov said that the design of the object is currently being completed, its cost and name, parts of general design and materials are determined. “I think that in the next month and a half we will have a complete picture of the format of this center. The main question at the moment is financing. Since we still do not know the exact cost of all design decisions, it is too early to talk about the sponsor, ”he said. According to the minister, Zagitova regularly arrives in Kazan and already began communication with the coaches.

In February 2024, it was reported that Zagitova will become the general manager of his own sports school in Kazan. The former skater will take up the selection of coaches, and will also oversee the work and set tasks.

Zagitova is the only loner in the history of Russia that won all the titles in world figure skating. She became the 2018 Olympic champion, the world and European champion, as well as the winner of the Grand Prix finals. In 2019, the skater completed her career, concentrating on the work of the TV presenter.
