Olympic silver medalist in cross-country skiing Alexander Panzhinsky called the victory in the “ Star Race”, which took place at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, the pinnacle of his career.
In the final race, the duo Panzhinsky and young skier Vyacheslav Smirnov showed a result of 6 minutes 2.2 seconds. The team of Russian cross-country champion Mikhail Devyatyarov finished second (+0.98 seconds). The third was the world champion and bronze medalist of the Vancouver Olympics Alexey Petukhov (+1.32 seconds), who performed in a duet with his son.
– How was it ? Where do you find so much strength?
“I didn’t plan the distance in any way, everything was done by Slava Smirnov, a cool guy who passed the baton to me first. My job was to not let it go, I included everything I had and what I had accumulated over 34 years. He used the reserve he had accumulated throughout his career since the Vancouver Olympics, where he did not spend it. This is the pinnacle of my sporting career! “You can walk away with that,” Panzhinsky said on .
