Senior coach of the Russian cross-country ski team Yuri Borodavko expressed the hope that the three-time Olympic champion Alexander Bolshunov will be in good shape for the National Cup final in Kirovsk.
Bolshunov won four gold medals at the last Russian Championship in Malinovka: in sprint, skiathlon, team sprint and relay. Before the tournament, Bolshunov fell ill.
— After the races were canceled, some team members immediately left Malinovka, others stayed to train. However, there was a problem with replacing the tickets. Someone drove away. As for preparations for the Russian Cup final, some will go to the “Northern Festival”, others will go directly to Kirovsk. An individual preparation plan is already underway.
— Alexandre Bolshunov did not play in the most optimal conditions at the Russian Championship. Will you have a rest before the Russian Cup, or will you still continue training?
– Of course he will train. He has the conditions, the track in Golovino. In addition I did a little amateur track at home. We hope he will be ready for the Cup final in Kirovsk,” Borodavko told .
The Russian Cup final in Kirovsk will take place from April 2 to 7.
