– Television plays a huge role in the development of any sport. From year to year, a picture, approach, broadcasts improve. There are moments that I miss. For example, when there is a moment of a goal or a three -point throw, I would like to see a little more statistics, comparison with the players who played earlier. We all love to compare. At this moment I would pay attention.

If we consider the moments with our events, of course, the addition of the show is simply necessary. People will watch a cool sporting event. For example, a mediator, this attracts attention. Ideally, we want to see a high -level sport where there are emotions, a show. Further, this is already a huge task of the federation, clubs and TV stages. What can we do? What are the attraction points? It is not always possible to get funding, there is a great gratitude to the partners, ”Kirilenko said.
