Skier Artem Maltsev said on that the first skating lap was the most difficult for him in skiathlon at the Alfa-Bank Russian Cup in Kazan.
Victory won Alexander Bolshunov , who completed the 10 km classic and the 10 km freestyle in 47 minutes 48.1 seconds. The second was Savely Korostelev (lag – 3.3 seconds), third – Maltsev (+4.1).
— The task was not to fall behind in the “classics”. I woke up this morning with a strange feeling. This got better as the race progressed; the first skate lap was the hardest for me. We were lucky that the guys in front didn’t set the pace too high. Now the main thing is to maintain health, the rest will come,” Maltsev said on .
For Bolshunov, this victory was the 15th in a row at the stages of the Russian Cup, he has never lost this season.
The next stage of the Russian Cup will take place in Tyumen in early February.
