Olympic cross-country skiing champion Veronika Stepanova in her column on , she said that spectators along the track are very important, but that it is still necessary to maintain a distance between athletes and supporters for safety reasons.
— Any skier will tell you that spectators along the slope are very important. They inspire, motivate, stimulate. Where it was last year, I personally ran better. I understand that in our difficult times, it is not easy to organize a security check and maintain order along the route. But we have to figure out how to do it. For example, change the layout of the track to go around the “island” with the fans. For example, in one of the best stadiums in the world, the “Pearl of Siberia”, this has already been implemented. Don’t let this “intimacy with the fans” turn into a drinking festival for young people like in Holmenkollen. I didn’t have time to experience it myself, but I heard a lot about it, ”wrote Stepanova.
Stepanova won gold at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing as part of the women’s relay team. According to the results of the 2022/23 season of the Russian Cup, the 22-year-old skier became second overall.
