Olympic champion Alexander Legkov in a conversation with , he said he was convinced that the departure of skiers Nathalie And Alexandra Terentiev of the group Yuri Borodavko passed without mutual offense.
In April, the head coach of the Russian national team, Borodavko, told that athletes were leaving his group to join Yegor Sorin. Terentyeva (formerly Nepryaeva) is an Olympic champion, three-time Olympic medalist, World Cup and Tour de Ski stage race winner. Terentyev is a two-time Olympic bronze medalist.
— The Terentyevs have changed coaches. A noisy transition by our country’s standards.
– I knew it before the general boom. I didn’t voice it anywhere, because there is Yuri Viktorovich (Borodavko) and Egor (Sorin). They probably spoke before the media leak. I’m sure we came to a common denominator and made this decision. It’s Sasha and Natasha’s decision. Moreover, I am sure that everyone parted on a positive note and Yuri Viktorovich does not hold a grudge against anyone. Sorin, when he was offered to become a coach, spoke with Borodavko, explained everything to him that he had not coached anyone anywhere. So I’m sure everything happens amicably.
– Will it do them any good?
— A change of environment always has a positive effect. Judging from my career, if you turn 180 degrees, everything goes up. Natasha now has Stepanova in her group, they can compete. And Terentyev has Korostelev. But we have to wait for the competition and the launch of a full-fledged training process. But the fact that Sorin has a very strong group is not an option. All his skiers run according to plan and show results. And Yuri Viktorovich Borodavko is a great coach, through whom great athletes have passed who decided to try something new,” Legkov told .
