Commentator and presenter Dmitry Guberniev told that skiers who came to Sochi to participate in the Student Spartakiad should have had more time to study the difficult course and acclimatize.
Cross-country skiing competitions are held in the village of Estosadok. Friday, during the general start race, several skiers were injured following a fall. The president of the Russian Ski Racing Federation (FLGR), Elena Vyalbe, told that two athletes were in hospital: one suffered a head injury, the second had a broken arm.
— We had to find the route. Everyone arrived one after the other, but the course is difficult, you have to acclimatize. Question: How much time did young skiers spend there before hitting the slopes? A day? Everyone warned that there could be problems, you have to arrive in advance. Questions for the organizers. To organize the Spartakiad of Young Athletes in Sochi, people need to be fully prepared for it, and we have not seen that yet. I warned, all normal people said that it was a risky business to organize competitions in Sochi without acclimatization. The question should be asked to Deputy Sports Minister Alexei Morozov, who confidently said that everything would be fine,” Guberniev told .
