Due to severe frosts, the start of sprint qualifying on January 13 was postponed by one hour. The prologue began at noon Moscow time. Sobakarev clocked 3 minutes 0.62 seconds, ahead of three-time Olympic champion Alexander Bolshunov by 0.74 seconds.
“Should this circle be understood or should it simply be managed?
“Maybe he needs to be understood.” For many, this is their first experience on this circuit. A lot of people haven’t raced here yet. There is a lot of plain. The first part is a very difficult climb, and after that there is no rest. You work until the end. It seems quick, but quite difficult.
Today the track was swept, the sliding is not very good, so it’s hard everywhere,” Sobakarev said on .
