Russian skier Kornei Kornev said on that even before the start of the women’s race at the Spartakiad, it was clear to the students that it was impossible to cover the distance in such conditions.
On Friday, during the women’s 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 on the Laura slope.
— The fog was still thickening. At 8 a.m. we went out to exercise and the visibility was already poor. I have video of this fog. But he was probably still reasonable.
Even then we understood that it was scary to run in such weather. We didn’t see anything beyond our noses,” Kornev said on .
Based on this fact, the investigative department of the Adler region immediately organized an investigation. The progress and results of the inspection were monitored by the investigation department.
Due to what happened, changes were made to the program of the Student Spartakiad: the men’s mass start, scheduled for March 9, was replaced by a 15 km time trial.
