Alina Zagitova and Evgenia Medvedeva have prospects in the political arena. This opinion was expressed by Honored Coach of the USSR in figure skating Tatiana Tarasova in an interview with Sport-Express. In her opinion, figure skaters have intelligence and a strong character. These are the qualities that any politician needs.
At the same time, Tarasova clarified that these are not the exclusive advantages of the two athletes. Usually, everyone who comes to the big sport, in one way or another, has perseverance, concentration and a good education. But if Zagitova and Medvedeva suddenly feel that they can help people and make serious decisions for the country and the state, then they will succeed.
Recall that both figure skaters took part in the Olympics in Pyeongchang. Zagitova won gold in singles. Medvedeva won silver. Now they practically do not go out on the ice to participate in major competitions. Zagitova claims that she has insufficient physical form for this.
