Olympic cross-country skiing champion Veronika Stepanova in her column, she said it was time to make it fashionable for the most famous Russian skiers to have personal fan clubs, because they deserved it a long time ago.
– I once asked: why are there few people almost everywhere during ski competitions, and there is nowhere to fall an apple for ski jumpers? But because a good half of the spectators are members of the fan clubs of a particular athlete. They will support their favorite athlete, like football fans go to their club on the go. With paraphernalia, portraits of their heroes, bagpipes and drums.
Bolshunov, Ustyugov, Nepryaeva have long deserved such clubs – only I don’t see them. Let’s make it fashionable, here the Internet will only help to unite, – 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.
