Olympic ski relay champion Veronica Stepanova said that Russia has created all conditions for athletes, so there is no point in regretting the lack of international competitions.
Stepanova won five medals at the Spartakiad: three gold and two silver.
— To all those who regret out loud that the best years of Bolshunov/Stepanova/Faleeva/Korostelev passed without the World Cup – don’t worry about us! It seems to me that you miss more the times of your youth, when you first went to the Alps and Finland. For a long time, you were convinced that skiing paradise existed. And finally, you went for it. Oh, what beauty!
Continue to soak up your memories. What does this have to do with us? If you can understand, try it: we grew up in another era, when a “ski paradise” was already built in Russia. Even a few. Sochi, “Pearl of Siberia”, Kirovsk, Malinovka and now Kazan.
Here and now, we have a great opportunity to create and build our own “major league” of ski racing. So, like in the NHL, the Stanley Cup is more important than the World Championship. Only ski racing is a hundred times cheaper in investment. Hey, investors and sponsors, get involved, join us! For my part, I promise not to disappoint. Add intrigue. Run like a Spartakiad relay race. Or at the Beijing Olympics,” Stepanova wrote on her Telegram channel.
Russian skiers have been suspended from international competitions due to the situation in Ukraine.
