Olympic 800m champion Yuri Borzakovsky appreciated his performance during the Star Race, which took place on Saturday at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow.
Borzakovsky, in a duet with 2006 Olympic champion Natalya Baranova, took second place in the race, which included outstanding amateur and professional skiers. The team consisting of 2010 Olympic bronze medalist Natalya Korosteleva and head of the Moscow sports department Alexei Kondarantsev won this race.
– From a cardio point of view, which is more difficult: cross-country skiing or athletics?
— I think skiing will be more difficult. Here you need to work even more actively with your hands, but if you carry out an active training process, you will quickly get used to it and the cardio load will be the same as in running.
— How did Natalya Baranova evaluate your performance?
“She said everything was fine and I was driving pretty well.” When professionals say that, it’s very nice. We took second place, which is awesome.
— How long did it take you to get used to skiing? How often do you go skiing?
— Unfortunately, lately it is rarely possible to get on skis. The last time I went to the ski slope was exactly a year ago at the same tournament. I skied very often. The practice of those years remained, so it was not difficult for me, ”Borzakovsky said on .
