Olympic champion and winner of the Russian Cup in cross-country skiing Veronika Stepanova said that Russia has the best ski slopes in the world for professional competitions.
On Sunday, in the Murmansk region, the Russian Cross-Country Skiing Cup for the 2023/24 season ended. Among the women, Stepanova won the big Crystal Globe.
– We have the best slopes in the world – without reservations. I specify: ski slopes for professional competitions. This is a combination of the hard work of excellent specialists in their preparation, the interest of local authorities/sponsors and the good weather. In continental Europe, last season, there was no more or less suitable snow cover up to 1500 meters above sea level; hardware vendors have been a total failure. And in our country the season is from October to May, if you really want it. I write from Kirovsk – there are still thousands of skiers here on the slopes, and the flight from Moscow is only an hour and a half, from St. Petersburg even less.
This season we have a luxurious ski stadium in Kazan, new circuits in Malinovka and a new uphill race format in Kirovsk. “I think that in this regard everything is really excellent,” Stepanova wrote in her column on the website.
