"Being healthy is in trend": Svetlana Khorkina spoke about the development of sports at the RUSSIA EXPO
Gymnast,
two-time Olympic champion in uneven bars, nine-time world champion, Merited
Master of Sports of Russia Svetlana Khorkina met with visitors of the RUSSIA
EXPO.
Svetlana
Khorkina spoke about opportunities for the development of mass sports.
According to the Olympic champion, in addition to practice, athletes should
master theoretical material to achieve high results. Svetlana Khorkina noted
that not only the coaching staff and infrastructure, but also the atmosphere
surrounding the athlete also play a big role in achieving results.
"If
there are lazy people in the gym - and they just want to come to work to tick a
box, or on the contrary everyone is focused on the result and work hard - then,
of course, it is tough in such a team, but it gives motivation and pushes
forward all the time, because a leader is born in competition," Svetlana
Khorkina emphasized.
Now there
are great opportunities for the development of mass sports - in addition to
building the necessary facilities, more and more people are beginning to pay
attention to a healthy lifestyle, said the gymnast.
"Being
healthy today is in trend. There are no identical people, everyone is
individual, and the approach to choose how they lead a healthy lifestyle is
different for everyone. Someone jogs in parks, someone does sports walking,
someone dances - everyone has their own variations, this is also important,"
concluded Svetlana Khorkina.
