– What are your feelings ? New track, new stadium!
— The first impression of the track is very good, it works. Uphill, downhill, everything is the way I like it.
– Heavy?
– Yes! Very! In my opinion, 165 meters of positive elevation gain in a five kilometer circle. This is approximately the same as what we have in my region (Nizhny Novgorod) on the track “Fox Mane”, which I really like. And God willing, one day there will be the same ski complex as here.
Tatars are good friends and, as usual, they greet you in a big way. The stages are set, the music is playing, there is a catering tent. I ate chak-chak, I’ve tried it before, it’s so delicious! I drink evening tea with him every day,” Maltsev said on .
