Maria Kiseleva

One of the most prominent presenters on Russian television in the early 2000s was a synchronized swimmer and Olympic champion Maria Kiseleva. From 2001 to 2005, without interrupting her sports career, she hosted an intellectual television game "Weak Link". Every day Kiseleva appeared in the image of a tough and unyielding lady who put pressure on the participants with her authority and at the end of each round gladly announced the removal of one of the players. Her phrases “Who is dragging the whole team down?”, “Who has less brains than a garden gnome?”, “Who suits the slogan “Slower, lower, weaker”?” irritated many, but provoked viewers to root for the players even more and, worrying about the teams, turn on the TV again and again.

Irina Slutskaya

Figure skater Irina Slutskaya - record holder for participation in television shows as a presenter.

Slutskaya hosted such entertainment shows on Channel One as “Stars on Ice”, “Ice Age”, “Ice Age. Professional Cup".

In 2006, together with Irina Slutskaya, the athlete hosted the program "Stars on Ice" on First, then "Star Ice" on the Rossiya channel. And then he went to perform at Eurovision with the singer Dima Bilan.

The purpose of the program was to show participants and viewers that a way out of any, even the most difficult relationship situation can be found.
