KAZAN, June 15, Andrey Simonenko. Olympic champion in figure skating skating and the Ambassador of the BRICS Games in Kazan, Alina Zagitova, said that she was ready to take part in synchronized swimming competitions if she received such an offer.
“»I’m not a good swimmer, but if they invite me, I’d try. I try many sports, I don’t mind running either. But I have this story — when I was little, I didn’t want to take up figure skating, my mother scared me: I’ll give it to the lightweight athletics, you will run like a horse,” Zagitova told reporters.
The BRICS Games take place from June 12 to 24. About 5 thousand athletes from more than 90 countries of the world are participating in the competition, they will compete for 387 sets of medals.
