Senior coach of the Russian cross-country ski team Egor Sorine told that the main task of Tatiana Sorina during the time trial of the fifth stage of the Alfa-Bank Russian Cup in Kazan, it was possible to reach the finish line without pain in the leg.
Sorina hasn’t performed since late November. In the 10-kilometer race, the athlete took eighth place, losing 1 minute 22.9 seconds to the winner Veronica Stepanova.
— For Tatiana today there was no task in terms of results. Any place in the finish list would be a good result for her. The main goal was to reach the finish line without leg pain and show that she could compete. We will head towards the main starting point: the Spartakiad.
Today was a test race. Tatiana only started skating in training in January. She has only been skiing for 10 days. Before the mountain race, she had to start, because she had not competed for a long time.
We needed to understand if the treatment we chose was producing results. The start provided an opportunity to see if Tatiana would have the same problems she had at the Thea summit in November, where she was unable to complete the distance, Sorin told .
Later Thursday, the men will start the 15km freestyle time trial. Watch the show from 1:25 p.m. (Moscow time) on the channel, matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru sites.
