My favorite sport - it's figure skating. I love this sport since childhood. I love to dance, so he probably what I like. Figure skating - it's very difficult sport. People are learning the sport for fifteen years, then just go to the big rink. Figure skating requires a large time commitment, the time from people. A person should do it every day for several hours. This sport demands and expense, to engage in sports need to hire a coach for a certain amount of money. Pursuing this sport, risking their health. There are occasions when people remain disabled for life.
Of Russian skaters I like most about Irina Slutskaya. For me it is the most worthy skater in Russia. She is very persistent, intelligent, courageous woman. Not everyone can go to the big sports and achieve so much success as she is, especially after such words of trainers who could easily hurt and humiliate.Seeing her coach told her that she could not figure skating, the sport is not for her. In spite of all she was a decent skater in Russia.
At the Olympics Irina Slutskaya won the bronze medal. I watched all her shows. I really really liked it. Its subtlety of movement, grace the arms, legs were very well marked. She served very complex movements without any errors. She's just a good sport! More such people in our country, as Irina Slutskaya
