Olympic champion Sergei Ustyugov On , he said he couldn’t save his energy for the final round of the skiathlon at the Alfa-Bank Russian Cross-Country Ski Championships in Malinovka.
On Sunday, Ustyugov took 11th place in the skiathlon, losing 33.7 seconds to winner Alexander Bolshunov.
— I tried it from the first meters, but I didn’t short-circuit the wires somewhere?
“I tried, I tried, but I didn’t get it all the way closed.” Like I said, I tried to start (working) from the beginning. The first round was over, I thought that in the second someone would support me. As a result, Lekha Chervotkin runs behind and says that all three of them ran away. I’m tired, I think someone should come and help me. On the second lap I fell in the middle and was recovering. On the third, I regained the lead, but on the descent I was upset when Sanya Bolshunov overtook me on the right side. It’s somehow a bit unpleasant (smiles).
We changed our clothes for skating, the first round didn’t go well. I tried to pull it. As a result, I struggled, stumbled and could not leave any strength for the final round. I tried to follow Spitsov, but he ran away. At the finish line, Mitroshin overtook me. I could have been 10th, but I became 11. I understand that there is room for improvement in terms of results. I’ll try and everything will be fine. For now, I intend to lead the entire championship program, ”Ustyugov said on .
