Skier Savely Korostelev after winning the team sprint at the Alfa-Bank Russian Championship, he told that the next step was success in individual races.
Korostelev and Alexander Bolshunov, playing for the first team of the Arkhangelsk region, won in this discipline on Wednesday. The 20-year-old skier won the title of Russian champion for the first time.
— Are you happy to have become Russian champion for the first time? Or, even if there is no gold in personal races, you will not fully consider yourself a champion?
— Personal shopping is the next step. Team gold… There’s a title and there’s that. But I still have the status of the summer champion of Russia in personal races.
– But it’s still not the same…
— It wouldn’t be the same if it were in the roller skiing discipline, but in fact, for me it’s in the skiing discipline! There is a separate Russian championship for roller skiing and another for cross-country skiing. Therefore, in substance, I consider this to be equivalent. Only in summer.
— But I agree that the unclosed gestalt remains for the next season?
– Certainly. All is correct. There are many unclosed gestalts. After a season there is still a good gestalt! So there is room for improvement,” Korostelev told .
The Russian championship takes place at the Malinovka ski center in the Arkhangelsk region from March 16 to 24.
