Olympic ski marathon champion Alexander Legkov admitted that he thought Alexandra Bolshunova the best skier of the last half century.
— Will I beat Bolshunov? It’s impossible to beat him. From start to start, it becomes clearer and clearer. Although I think it will happen at some point. But for now, no matter what we do to him, he runs away. Even if he reaches the finish line with everyone else, it is impossible. It is a unique creature that is born once every hundred years.
I think no one can be offended by my achievements, but there have never been such Olympic champions. He is the strongest skier of the last 50 years,” Legkov said, as quoted by the Championship.
Bolshunov is a three-time Olympic champion, world championship winner and two-time World Cup winner. On Saturday, February 17, Alexander won the 50-kilometer marathon at the Spartakiad of the Strongest in Tyumen. This season, the 27-year-old skier has won every individual race, with 21 consecutive victories.
