The organizers of the student Spartakiad in Sochi should not have been allowed to organize a mass start among minor skiers, Irina Golovleva, the grandmother of the stranded athlete Veronica Golovleva, said on .
On Friday, during the general start race in the village of Estosadok, several skiers were injured following a collapse. 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. In total, 14 skiers failed to finish.
— The race had to be postponed as the weather conditions were absolutely unsuitable for the race. I wouldn’t say the girls were poorly qualified. They are the best skiers in their age category from all regions, they have been selected for the Spartakiade throughout the season. How can they be unqualified? They train for 7-9 years,” Golovleva said on the air of the show “Everyone for the match!” on .
Based on this incident, the investigative department of the Adler district of the city of Sochi of the Investigative Committee of Russia in the Krasnodar Territory organized an inspection.
