Head coach of the Russian national cross-country team Yuri Borodavko in an interview with a correspondent, he said the Norwegians’ dominance last season is not killing interest in cross-country skiing, but is rapidly lowering it.
Earlier, two-time Olympic champion Petter Nortug said in an interview with Ski-Nordique that he has already competed in the World Cup and World Championships with a higher level of competition. Nortug also noted that Norwegian dominance is killing interest in cross-country skiing.
– Cross-country skiing is always interesting to watch when there are intrigues and struggles. Especially when athletes from different countries enter the fight. This arouses the interest of the whole world. Previously there was intrigue, there were a lot of talented guys who added entertainment.
Nortug also said the whole situation is killing interest in cross-country skiing. Do you agree?
— It’s not, but the interest is going down. Predictability – time. No plot – two. For someone, for the same Swedes, Italians and Germans, it’s a chance to win prizes. For some it is a joy that we are gone and they have the opportunity to win these prizes that they would never have won,” Borodavko told .
