Olympic cross-country skiing champion Veronika Stepanova in her column on , she said that facilities and entertainment for supporters during the competition are as important as good stadium capacity.
– In my hometown of Elizovo in Kamchatka, they decided to build a new ski stadium. I was drawn, of course, primarily as a “face” – but I am actively pushing my own thoughts. I think you should not build a beautiful stadium with stands, but above all good roads leading to the stadium (half an hour after your plane lands from Moscow, you are already on the ski slope, if you really want it!) Plus parking lots, small hotels with cafes and just cafes – like in Odintsovo or in Meshchersky Park. The fan has to go to a mixture of spectacle and an outdoor picnic, in which the cross-country skiing itself is only an excuse to get together. And after our race, put on your own skis,” Stepanova wrote.
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.
