MOSCOW, April 3 Daniil Serokhvostov believes that football players are training there are much fewer biathletes and skiers, despite the high salaries.
According to the athlete, he was ashamed of the players when he saw the difference in the volume of training.

«I saw how hockey players train, claims to he doesn't have at all. As for the players, of course, there are questions. I saw a team, maybe the Second League, watched how they train. I was even a little embarrassed. Okay, me, but skiers, they don't have shooting, they run even more. Earnings at us with them plus or minus the same. It’s a shame that someone plows 35-36 hours a week, and the players, maybe 12 hours (smiles),” Serokhvostov told the “Championship”.
At the same time, the biathlete admitted that «in factories and mines» people face great difficulties.

«Of course, we have a cyclical sport, it is difficult. But if they paid for the severity, I think, after all, those who work in factories, in mines, and not athletes, would receive the most,” he said.
Serokhvostov also suggested that the salaries of football players are higher because of the popularity of the sport.

«But it's understandable why footballers have so much more money than we do. A bunch of bookmakers, people are interested, they have views, streams,» Serokhvostov said.
