Navka supported the idea of ​​lowering the retirement age for athletes: “We need to lower it to 45 for sure” – Figure Skating

Olympic champion in ice dancing Tatiana Navka supported the idea of ​​lowering the retirement age for athletes.

Earlier offer was announced at an expanded meeting of the commission of athletes of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC).

“I think this is the right initiative. For example, ballerinas reach retirement age at 35-40 years old, while athletes do not.

It is necessary to lower it to 45 exactly, ”Navka said.

Our athletes are asking for early retirement (like miners), although in 2018 the champions from the Duma raised the retirement age
