russian skier Sergei Ustyugov says his physical condition this offseason is better than last year.
On Saturday, Ustyugov, 31, finished second in the roller ski competition in St. Petersburg.
“There is a big difference compared to last year. Last year, in May, I was still lying on the sofa with such a big belly. This time when I started training I was already in semi-combat, good weight. I plan to participate in the Russian Roller Ski Championship, although I don’t know in which races yet. It all depends on the mood, the training process, desire. I will make decisions later.
Last year he said there was an enthusiasm and a love for racing? The enthusiasm was already gone halfway through Malinovka (laughs). When old sores and wounds appear, psychologically it is very difficult. I had back problems at Malinovka. Funny as it sounds, I had been walking since breakfast, sneezed twice, and my chest was stuck (laughs). There were still some minor issues with the leg, which I still can’t fix. Have you solved your back problem? This is an old sore, it periodically worsens, periodically passes. It just takes time without stress.
I try to carry out Markus Kramer’s plan, but I don’t always succeed. There are all kinds of force majeure and all kinds of wounds appear. I have a plan for a month, I train according to it and the feelings of the body. In Malinovka, somewhere I didn’t listen to my body, I sneezed twice, and that’s it (smile),” Ustyugov told the Championship.
Ustyugov won gold at the 2022 Games in Beijing as part of the relay. Also on his account, two gold medals at the world championships, a victory in the general classification of the Tour de Ski.
