Commentator and host of “” Dmitri Guberniev believes that the words of the President of the Russian Ski Competition Federation (FLGR) Elena Vyalbe on the absence of competitors Natalia Nepryaeva should excite all other athletes, starting with Veronica Stepanova .
On Tuesday, Vyalbe told TASS that the main problem in women’s skiing was linked to Olympic champion Nepryaeva, who has no competitors in Russia.
– The biggest problem in women’s skiing, like in men’s, is that we don’t compete anywhere. The fact that Nepryaeva is the strongest in the country, and overall she really has no competitors, I agree. But you don’t have to be Captain Obvious, so everything is clear. It seems to me that the words of my friend Elena Valerievna Vyalba, with whom we continue to work side by side for the glory of Russian skiing, should excite everyone. These are great words for motivation. I can only support Elena Valerievna in trying to cheer up other skiers, starting with Stepanova, so that Nepryaeva stops feeling like a lonely leader.
We need competition. We have seen it in men. Yes, although Alexander Bolshunov was not in his best form at times, and Sergey Ustyugov, on the contrary, was. Competition is always necessary. I really hope that Nepryaeva will have rivals in the coming season. But that’s not the main problem. The most important thing is that we are not performing anywhere.
Being in Kazan for swimming, I miss skiing very much. Undoubtedly, in winter I will continue to delight viewers with excellent reports on cross-country skiing and fruitful communication with Elena Valerievna, who is always happy to see me. Every time we meet, her warm eyes, wide smile and beautiful face confirm my conclusions, Guberniev told .
Nepryaeva is the owner of a full set of Olympic medals from the Beijing 2022 Games and a bronze medalist from the Pyeongchang 2018 Olympics.
