Skier Sergei Ardashev told how his performances this season have been affected by the birth of his son.
On Sunday, Ardashev won bronze in the skiathlon at the Russian Championships in the Arkhangelsk region. Alexander Bolshunov won, Alexey Chervotkin came second.
— This season, I am able to perform more consistently. I had good races all season compared to previous years. Even if we compare that with the year I won the Youth World Championship. I was very ready then. But it was not possible to keep the bar all season.
This progress is a credit to all of our staff. Massage therapist, doctor, trainers, our analyst. Everyone is very invested in the result. My attitude and my family also influence. Everyone supports me. I recently had a son. I think the birth of a child influenced me a lot, I became calm. And my wife understands me well.
If I show results, then everything is fine. I don’t look down. I worked a lot during the preparatory period. My wife would sometimes say to me, “Maybe you should rest today?” I said, “No. We have to work, stay fit all the time,” Ardashev told .
