Skier Alina Pekletsova after winning the relay race at the Alfa-Bank Russian Championship in Malinovka, she noted the advantages of being in a team with strong partners, especially with the Olympic champion Veronica Stepanova .
On Friday, the Arkhangelsk region team of Alina Pekletsova, Maria Istomina, Svetlana Zaborskaya and Veronika Stepanova won the relay race at the Russian Championship.
— How does it feel to compete with Veronica Stepanova when she is on the same team as you, and not your rival on the ski slope?
– And so, and so well. Of course, it’s good to have teammates as strong as Veronica. We had absolutely no doubt about his fourth stage. We knew that even if we were slightly late, she would still manage her stage very well.
—As a more experienced and prominent teammate, can she give you any advice?
“I think if you turn to Veronica for advice, she will always help and advise you.” But she and I are in different groups, so we don’t cross paths often.
— Today we crossed paths and immediately got gold.
– Like Spartakiad! It happens like this,” Pekletsova told .
The Alfa-Bank Russian Championship will be held at the Malinovka ski center in the Arkhangelsk region from March 16 to 24.
