Egor Sorine coach and husband of Olympic cross-country champion Tatiana Sorina, commented on her sprint performance at the Alfa-Bank Russian Cup in Tyumen and talked about preparations for the Spartakiad of the Strongest.
Sorina has not participated in official competitions since late November 2023 due to injury. On Sunday, the skier took third place in the 10-kilometer mass start at the sixth stage of the Alfa-Bank Russian Cup in Tyumen. Olympic champion Veronika Stepanova won, Elizaveta Pantrina came second.
— Tatiana certainly did not have the opportunity to fight for higher places today. She solved her problems. For her, this is actually her second time competing in the classics after recovering from an injury. She is not yet ready to run quickly uphill, where there is a strong load on the foot in the classic style. Today it was clear that she was struggling on the climbs, especially where she had to run in a herringbone pattern. This start, first of all, was part of our preparation, to see how the leg feels, and tomorrow in the skating race we will have a much better chance.
We no longer talk about optimal conditions at the Spartakiad. First, not much time has passed since the injury. Second, Tanya is still feeding the baby and is going through a recovery period after giving birth. At such a time, she does not have the opportunity to seek her climax. But his condition will be normal, which will allow him to compete for the top three,” Sorin said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
On February 9, from 08:35 (Moscow time), watch live broadcast of the Spartakiad cross-country skiing competitions on the channel, matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru sites.
