I am curious of the costs for a figure skater in Russia, that isn't in the national teams (because as far as I know only the best 5 in juniors and seniors are in the team) What's happening with a skater starting from age 4-5 up he/she will be junior and pretty good to be in the national team?
Do these kids also pay for their training or everything is state funding? and they need to pay only for extra choreo, skates, costumes?
