Local journalist put on all the best at once
In early May, the athletes skated two shows in Ulaanbaatar. This event simply blew up the country – such a stellar landing party landed there for the first time: Kamila Valieva, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, Sinitsina and Katsalapov, Tarasova and Morozov, our other illustrious champions.
Tickets worth 30-150 thousand tugriks (675-3400 rubles) were sold out in a few days. Invitations to a banquet, giving the right to chat with skaters and watch a concert, which cost 500 thousand tugriks (11 thousand rubles), also left. The line for the autograph session snaked across the arena.
– Russian figure skaters have arrived, this is my dream! I love Russia, I support Russia! – one of the Mongolian journalists said in a voice breaking with excitement, demonstrating as many as three, worn one on top of the other, sweatshirts with Russian symbols, a scarf painted under Khokhloma, and a cap with the inscription Russia.
