"Ufa city became known internationally. It has very well developed infrastructure, and we are, of course, interested in development of figure skating uniformly across the country. We have not seen much so far, but we hope that everything will be okay. Surely Ufa townspeople love figure skating. And we will bring strong athletes here that Ufa residents will be able to see firsthand this kind of sport", said the President of the Federation Alexander Gorshkov.
