Russian skier Veronica Stepanova in his column on the site addressed Alexander Legkov with a proposal to try the UFC model at the race that bears his name, where participants in the event share strong predictions and promises.
The “Alexander Legkov Race” took place in March in Peresvet, near Moscow. In total, more than a thousand people took part. Top athletes competed over three distances. At the most prestigious distance of 30 kilometers, the first six places were competed respectively by Artem Maltsev, Anton Timashov, Sergei Volkov, Gleb Retivykh, Alexander Terentyev and Legkov himself.
“I’m not saying that all sports should copy everything and immediately move to the UFC model. Although, admit it, ski lovers and especially ski lovers, would it be interesting for you to see how Savely Korostelev calls Alexander Bolshunov and they go through the entire obligatory preliminary program – with weighing and thoroughness? Or will you turn away and not look at it on principle? Don’t worry, your girls will be watching!
Okay, scantily clad skiers on a scale might be a little far-fetched. Not immediately. But why not organize press conferences before departure? It seems that everyone understands that it is much more interesting to listen to an athlete before a race than after. Sports are interesting because of their unpredictability and, yes, some bragging among the participants. I will certainly have no problem promising anything the day before. As they say, the haters will have something to hate and the fans will have something to remember.
From words to actions. I propose this format to present the participants who will be tested by Alexander Legkov during the race that will bear his name in February next year. Alexander Gennadievich, can you hear me? — wrote Stepanova.
