Olympic champion Alexander Legkov told that he thought Veronica Stepanova the most prepared skier of the moment.
On Saturday, Olympic champion Stepanova won the sprint race of the Alfa-Bank Russian Championship. The 23-year-old skier achieved a result of 3 minutes 46.14 seconds. Elizaveta Pantrina finished second (+1.53). The top 3 was completed by Games champion Tatyana Sorina (+2.45).
— What do you think of Stepanova’s victory? Many noted that she won thanks to her work on the slopes and her ski work.
“She herself said that she worked well on the descents and emphasized that. Today she showed it, which was an important factor in the victory. It’s clear that Veronica is very well prepared, which isn’t something you can say about everyone. I won the course, well done. Today, those who needed it won.
— The Arkhangelsk region is immediately in the lead…
— I would focus more on the athletes. It is clear that the Arkhangelsk region is the strongest team. Some athletes who had already won and received prizes showed their level today. And there are leaders who failed in the race today and remained at the bottom,” Legkov told .
The Russian Championship takes place in Malinovka from March 16 to 24.
