The youngest heir of the actor Gleb Smolkin went to Beijing to defend the honor of Russia with his partner.
The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics kick off on February 4th. One of those who will defend the honor of Russia at these competitions is a pair of figure skaters Gleb Smolkin and Diana Davis. They compete in the ice dance category.
The girl is the daughter of the famous figure skating coach Eteri Tutberidze, and the young man is the son of Russian actor Boris Smolkin.
The latter, of course, will watch the Olympics with bated breath. However, the Honored Artist of the Russian Federation does not believe that his heir will be able to win gold.
“I don’t think that the performance of my son Gleb with Diana will bring gold to the country. I don’t have such crazy thoughts. They are the first year in the adult sport. Diana and Gleb were juniors a month ago. Of course, I will definitely root for them, but this disease is of little use, ”admitted the elder Smolkin“KP-Petersburg».
However, the actor is sure that the gold medals in figure skating will still go to Russian figure skaters.
Recall that a couple of Smolkin and Davis have been skating together since 2018. In 2020, they became bronze medalists of the Russian Championship among juniors, in 2021 they won the final of the Russian Cup among juniors, and in 2022 they managed to grab the silver of the adult championship of Russia.
