The presentation of the main start of the season took place within the framework of the national team skating trials in St. Petersburg, where Shcherbakova acts as a presenter together with Olympic champion Alexei Yagudin.
“I am very glad to become an ambassador of the Russian Championship,” Anna Shcherbakova noted. – I myself have performed at the Omsk arena more than once. I can say that this is a space arena that is always liked by both spectators and athletes. As for the Russian Championship, this is a very important and successful start for me. With it, one might say, my great career in figure skating began (the figure skater is a three-time national champion in 2019-2021 – RG note). Therefore, I hope that this arena will be equally successful and loved by everyone who will perform in Omsk in December. And, of course, as an ambassador, I will be very happy to tell our fans more about this wonderful tournament.
Figure skating fans are expected to flock to the stands, said Alexander Kogan, director general of the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR).
– I would like to congratulate the Siberians on such a wonderful tournament. I am sure that all the strongest skaters of the country will be present at the Omsk stadium, – said Kogan. – The Grand Prix stage was attended by 18 thousand people, this figure will be difficult to surpass, but still.
