Olympic cross-country skiing champion Veronika Stepanova told how she spoke with fans in Peresvet, where the Legkov Race took place.
On March 11, more than a thousand people came to the start of the Legkov Race, the athletes competed in three distances – 10, 20 and 30 kilometers. The prize fund amounted to one and a half million rubles.
– I didn’t go to the start on Saturday, after consulting the coach. But I “worked” from the bottom of my heart – I don’t think I’ve ever left so many autographs. It worked: while the kids are standing in the cold, in a blizzard, queuing for my signature – it’s my duty, my function in the sports world. Apparently, this must somehow be stipulated, perhaps even prescribed in the requirements for participants in all competitions.
By the way, the children not only came for autographs, but did their shopping – one kilometer, three, five. in front of the main Nepryaeva With Kuleshova fought and Maltsev With Terentiev . How do you like the composition? I saw something similar at the World Cup in Davos. There, the legendary Bjorn Daly (if I understand correctly, he now lives in Switzerland) organizes competitions for children at the same time as the World Cup races.
In general, I saw and participated in Peresvet a lot of what I would like to see at the main national competitions. Yes, internationals too. Cross-country skiing is becoming more and more popular, it is enough to understand that expectations are growing both among spectators and among us, the participants. The Legkov Race shows how it can be with the right approach and organization,” Stepanova wrote in a column on .
