How Russian skiers perform after returning to international tournaments will depend on how long the suspension lasts, says 2022 Olympic relay champion at ‘Championship’ Denis Spitsov .
– Alexey Chervotkin suggested that when Russian skiers return to international starts, they will not be able to race at the same level as before the suspension. It will take time to get back to the same level. Do you agree with him?
– Maybe it will be so, and we will be a little lower than before, it will be more difficult to compete with the Norwegians. But we will continue to win against other countries. Everything will depend on when exactly we will return. If already in the next season, the losses will be minimal. However, if the suspension lasts longer … We are guided by Bolshunov, reaching out to him, proceeding only from his results. But if Sanya loses, we all lose. He is the biggest motivator for us.
