Russian Olympic ice skaters test Sochi arena

The two-time vice-champions in figure skating Tatiana Volosozhar and
Maxim Trankov have tested the new ice arena in Sochi before the start
of the Grand Prix final.

Trankov commented on the good quality of the ice, but complained about
the height of the benches in the locker rooms of the new arena.

Alexander Smirnov and Yuko Kawaguchi, who also tested the arena and
will perform in the final of the Grand Prix, noted that they were very
happy with the arena.
