Skier Lidia Gorbounova after winning bronze in the team sprint at the Alfa-Bank Russian Championship, she told that she assumed her partner could overtake everyone in the final lap.
Gorbunova and Daria Nepryaeva, representing the first team of the Republic of Tatarstan, won bronze medals in this type of program. Maria Istomina and Veronika Stepanova, representing the Arkhangelsk region, won. The first team of the Tyumen region, consisting of Tatyana Sorina and Elizaveta Pantrina, took second place.
— Honestly, I actually thought Dasha was now going to go into the last lap, pull out her joker, overtake everyone and get away from everyone (laughs). Knowing Dasha at her best, I wouldn’t be surprised.
— For you, is the Russian Championship the main start of the season or is it always Spartakiad?
— For me personally, the Spartakiad was the main competition, but I did not manage to win a medal there. I had to realize my potential here,” Gorbunova told .
The Russian championship takes place at the Malinovka ski center in the Arkhangelsk region from March 16 to 24.
