MINSK, 7 April (BelTA) – Belarusian Sport and Tourism Minister Sergei Kovalchuk shared his opinion about the secret of success in sport in the latest episode of the Vremya Pervogo [Time of the First] project on the First New TV channel, BelTA has learned.
“Not everything depends on money. This is first of all the system, methods, proper training, starting from the children's level and ending with the elite sport. In Belarus there are both coaches and specialists who can prepare athletes in every sport at a very high level. We just need to look into the matter in detail,” Sergei Kovalchuk said.
At the same time the minister believes that no one will do sport for too little money, because there is a Russian sport market with absolutely different salaries.
“If someone is offered a good contract, let them go and earn money there. We will train new athletes. The system should work in the following way: there should be two new athletes ready to take the place of the one leaving. We have a lot of young people,” Sergei Kovalchuk said.
