Irina Rodnina, a three-time Olympic champion in figure skating, and now a State Duma deputy, spoke about her attitude to world records in her sport. It is reported by “Sport-Express”.
The athlete discounted this concept, noting that real records can be set in athletics or swimming, since there is a set value in these sports. “The sum of points is given in one way or another by people who are under different impressions, in different emotional states,” Rodnina said.
The skater also said that she does not follow the stages of the Grand Prix and other tournaments at the start of the season. Rodnina called them secondary competitions, noting that she observes only the main starts: such as the world, European and Olympic championships.
On October 10, the Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva won the Finlandia Trophy tournament. She has updated two world records: in total points and in a free program.
