Russian skier Alexander Bessmertnykh told that he decided to sell the Mercedes car, which was given to him in exchange for a medal at the 2014 Olympics, due to engine failure.
Bessmertnykh published an announcement about the sale of the car on Tuesday.
—Are there already people ready to buy a car?
– Yes, they call and ask. In the process, let’s say it.
— Is replacing an engine on a Mercedes an expensive service?
— That doesn’t mean it’s a very expensive moment, you just have to find it and do it. I’ve been thinking about selling it for a year, but then this disaster happened… I don’t want to repair it and sell it with an unknown engine. We talked to people and recommended putting it up for sale that way.
– How long has she been out of action?
— Literally a month and a half.
– Is it hard to leave?
— Yes, I traveled 200 thousand (kilometers). It’s still more of a memory. If the breakdown hadn’t happened, I would have made it this year and still sold it. I’m ripe for the need to change cars – nothing lasts forever.
—Isn’t that because you just need the money?
– No, no, thank God, it’s not because funds are needed – it’s not a question of money. I just decided I had to sell,” Bessmertnykh told .
At the Sochi Games, the Immortals won silver in the relay race.
