Olympic cross-country skiing champion Veronika Stepanova in her column on , she told how Slovenian athlete Eva Urevts is a role model.
Stepanova won gold at the 2022 Beijing Games as part of the women’s relay team. According to the results of the 2022/23 season in the Russian Cup, the 22-year-old skier became second in the overall standings.
– Without false modesty: such a mass of muscles in relation to the total body weight, as I have now, is very few modern rivals, Norwegians and Swedes. Although before Slovenian Eva Urevts I am still far.
The trend did not only come from Russian skiers.
We rarely meet biathletes, but a few years ago even the most inexperienced fan could tell who was a skier and who was a biathlete by seeing us on a ski or cross-country ski run. The biathletes were far below us in terms of muscle relief and superior in body mass index. But when we trained with Istomin’s group last fall, I – and not just me – was struck by how quickly the girls in her group picked themselves up in this component. Judging by their stories, hypertrophy is no longer just “our everything”, but also theirs. Ekaterina Noskova’s medal at the Russian Ski Championships did not surprise me at all. I saw what Katya is capable of in the gym.
I do not want to be misunderstood: after Yohaug left with his relief, which any bodybuilder would envy, our main role model in quantity / quality is the same Eva Urevts. Take a look at his picture at your leisure. Eva’s last ski season was a failure, but obviously not for lack of explosive power or knockdown power, Stepanova wrote.
Slovenian skier Urevc is the bronze medalist of the 2021 World Championships.
