Terentyev: “I looked at Northug and realized that you can not only walk on skis, but also run”

Double bronze medalist at the 2022 Olympic Games in cross-country skiing Alexander Terentiev He told me what he noticed was his uphill skiing style.

— For the first time I saw such a rise in power not from Johannes Klebo, but from Petter Northug. He ran like this in 2015 at the World Championships in Falun. I later watched the recordings of these races and that’s when I thought that this technique could work well in sprinting: you can not only ski, but also run.

This is acquired through training. It is true that things happen differently for everyone. Each person has their own characteristics in this regard. As a fairly powerful athlete, it’s easier for me to invest in jumping, but some people skate much faster than they run. Here it’s more convenient for everyone. It’s just that when you jump into an elevator, completely different adductor muscles begin to work. You also have to get used to it,” RT Terentyev quotes.
