General Producer of Alexander Tachshin told how the TV channel organized the broadcast of the PhosAgro races of the final of the Russian Cross-Country Skiing Cup in Kirovsk.
On Sunday, in the Murmansk region, the Russian Cup for the 2023/24 season ended. The final races of the tournament were mass starts for men and women with an uphill finish. The overall winners of the National Cup were Alexander Bolshunov and Veronika Stepanova.
— On Sunday, we drew a line under the next ski season. Four months (from December to April) included the Spartakiad of the Strongest, the Russian Championship in the legendary “Malinovka”, the Legkov anniversary race dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the legendary Sochi “fifty kopecks” and the Russian Cup.
From Tyumen to the Murmansk region, our equipment accompanied competitive athletes to competition so that you, spectators of the Match, could see 150 hours of television broadcast, follow step by step the unprecedented series of 23 victories of Alexander Bolshunov, but also see the victory of the rising star Saveliy Korostelev in the mass start of the Russian Cup last weekend – 10 km uphill on the slope of the Bolshoy Vudyavr ski resort in Kirovsk.
The Russian Cup final has become a new experience not only for athletes and organizers, but also for our television team. The race with a start at the foot of the mountain and a finish at the top took place for the first time in Russia – and we showed it live!
When carrying out the stage, our colleagues used two PTS vehicles (10 television vehicles in total) and more than 100 employees, and we equipped a commentator’s cabin in a snowcat so that the commentators were aware of everything race events! A week of hard preparatory work on the part of the television crew and stage organizers did not leave even the weather indifferent.
I am proud of our team, which worked day after day for one goal: that a huge audience of ski lovers could watch the highest quality broadcasts on ,” Tashchin wrote on the Telegram channel.
