Irina Lobacheva: "Russia needs more multi-profile athletic facilities"
Irina Lobacheva: "Russia needs more multi-profile athletic facilities"
Russian Olympic medalist, figure skater Irina Lobacheva told IA "Sportcom" that Russian needs to build more multi-profile athletic facilities.
"For a modern athlete, it's not enough to train at a Palace that has ice. There has to a weight room and a choreography room nearby. That's a requirement that applies to everyone. It would be great to also have children's rooms in the new facilities as well. I currently train kids, and parents often come with tiny children they can't leave at home. It's very hard for those toddlers to spend a whole hour in a cold room near the ice. It would be great to have professionals watch them during the time. One more thing. New facilities must investigate the question of children's nutrition. Many come to the rink before or after school, when their parents are still at work", says Irina Lobacheva.
