Olympic champion Alexei Chervotkin After third place in the classic sprint at the Spartakiad of the Strongest, he said some of his starts during the season were better than Friday’s race.
On Friday in Tyumen, Chervotkin became third in the Spartakiad of the Strongest, losing 1.84 seconds to the winner Alexander Bolshunov. Sergey Ardashev finished second (+0.56).
— Overall, I’m probably happy. First, it’s a sprint. Second, I wanted to examine my condition from race to race. The situation has not improved. But I really wanted to go to the final. I figured out roughly where I wanted to attack, put in all the effort, and then endure and hold on.
—Did the tactic work?
– I suppose so. But the guys miscalculated a bit in the sense that they thought they could easily go back and overtake. This cannot be allowed.
— Do you think they underestimated?
– Yes. Over the course of the races, they didn’t take me seriously. Because on arrival, everyone “shod” me.
— Did you approach this departure in optimal shape?
“Some beginnings and feelings about the season were better than today,” reports correspondent, according to Chervotkin’s words.
