“There are no questions about the service, but there are complaints about the skis.” Chervotkin – about the “trial” in the final of the Russian Cup

Russian skier Alexei Chervotkin said that following the results of the Russian Cup classic time trial, he still had complaints about the equipment, but not about the work of the service team.

On Friday, Chervotkin took third place in the 15 km individual race in classic style as part of the final of the PhosAgro Cup of Russia in cross-country skiing. The victory was won by Alexander Bolshunov, who covered the distance in 37 minutes 18.2 seconds. Savely Korostelev took second place.

— Today, was it possible to beat such a Bolshunov?

– It is possible to beat. But… You talk about it and talk about it, but you don’t succeed. Either close or with such loss. No, there are no complaints about the service, but there are complaints about the skis – very poor grip, I had to jump a lot and spend energy on them instead of practicing sections. When you get out of an elevator you don’t have a comfortable push, you dance and it makes you more tired.

— Have you already discussed it with the military?

— Currently, unfortunately, I am running with everything I have. I repeat, this has nothing to do with the guys’ work. Unfortunately, the inventory itself lets us down.

— On April 14, a 70 km marathon will take place in Monchegorsk. Are you going to run?

— The last start of the season is the mountains, then I finish the season. And 70 km is a lot and it’s not very well located for me. In addition, you need to take care of your health, ”reports the correspondent of , reporting Chervotkin’s words.
