“I read the doctor’s report and thought, stop running already.” Bolshunov talks about his back injury

Three-time Olympic champion and world cross-country ski champion, Russian Alexander Bolshunov, spoke about his back injury.

“I read the doctor’s report and… My first thought is: why do I need all this?!” The main thing for me is to be able to walk. Why do I need such problems when you can’t even live an ordinary life? At that time, to be honest, I didn’t even think about sports. I thought I would stop running already. I also couldn’t help but make harsh statements. Yuri Viktorovich Borodavko and physiotherapist Sergei Chechil convinced me to listen to them, what exactly to do in such a situation and how to do it. A detailed daily program has been developed to reduce pain and allow the body to begin exercising.

But when I arrived at the gym for the first workout, she was a little teary-eyed – I never thought I would have to do exercises with curls on my legs, I was sure I wouldn’t “I’d never need it,” Bolshunov quotes “Championship.”

Bolshunov injured his back in August during a training camp in Belarus and did not compete in the Russian roller ski championship. In November, the 26-year-old skier won three victories at the stage of the Alfa-Bank Russian Cup in Vershina Teya (Khakassia). On Friday, Bolshunov won the 10-kilometer time trial at the Kyrgyz Republic’s second stage in Tyumen.
