Olympic cross-country ski champion Veronica Stepanova in her column on , she told when she first watched the 2014 Sochi marathon and also explained why she was jealous Alexander Legkov .
At the home Olympics, Legkov won gold in the 50 km race and became a silver medalist in the relay. Stepanova won the 2022 Beijing Games as part of the women’s relay team.
— I must admit: I did not watch the broadcast of the most important ski race of the Sochi Olympic Games. I just turned 13 and I think I was in training. Or I was walking with friends in the snowy Elizov yard in Kamchatka. I didn’t realize the importance of this moment for me, for ski racing and for all sports in the country.
I definitely wouldn’t miss it now. Because you have to win like Legkov, Vylegzhanin and Chernousov.
You see, I don’t even write what breed I’m talking about – you understood everything perfectly and remember everything perfectly. I watched the Olympic “fifty dollars” (50 kilometers) for the first time during a recording before my Olympics. And how I envied Legkov later! Olympic gold is always a joy, but it’s one thing to win it on bald hills in front of empty stands – and it’s another to win it the way Alexander did. In front of tens of thousands of roaring, flag-waving fans, in one of the most beautiful places on the planet,” Stepanova wrote.
The Sochi Olympic Games took place from February 7 to 23, 2014. The Russian team took first place in the medal standings, winning 13 gold, 11 silver and 9 bronze medals.
