    The author assigns to any pair of strictly non-proportional geodesically equivalent metrics \(g\) and \(\widetilde g\) a family of completely integrable Riemannian metrics \(S(g,\widetilde g)\). Some simple properties of these families are obtained. He proves that the geodesic flow on the standard ellipsoid and the geodesic flow on the Poisson sphere have the same foliation which is a generalization of the well-known one in the two-dimensional case. The author presents an explicit formula for a metric geodesically equivalent to the metric on the Poisson sphere.
