Sergei Kryanin, member of the Presidium of the Russian Ski Racing Federation (FLGR), in a conversation with , admitted that the three-time Olympic champion Alexander Bolshunov tired at the end of the ski season.
On Tuesday, Bolshunov failed to qualify for the free sprint final at the Russian Cup final in Kirovsk. In the first semi-final, Bolshunov showed the third result and could have reached the final as a lucky loser, but in the second semi-final the skiers covered the distance faster. Bolshunov did not qualify for the sprint race final for the first time this season.
“I’m glad that young people are starting to show themselves at spring competitions, and Khabarovsk skiers are in the top three – that’s cool. Maybe Bolshunov and Ustyugov relaxed somewhere, didn’t have calculated the route, made a tactical error.
I do not exclude that Sasha is tired, because the end of the season is approaching and he has a huge margin of points – no one will catch up with him,” Kryanin told .
On Wednesday, April 3, the tournament will feature pursuit races. Live broadcast of the women’s race on the channel will begin at 11:00 (Moscow time), the men’s race at 12:25, and you can also follow the progress of the competition on the matchtv.ru and sportbox websites. ru.
