Commentator for Dmitry Guberniev believes that the cross-country ski team of the Arkhangelsk region will cease to exist after the severance of ties with businessman Vladimir Butorin.
Previously, the ULK group of companies, whose CEO is Butorin, announced that it would no longer sponsor ski races in the Arkhangelsk region.
— This is our favorite passage: “What we have, we do not keep; when we lose, we cry. ” I think the skiers should have prayed for Butorin, carried him in their arms, but an unpleasant situation occurred. If you remember, the local authorities had banned organizing events, but the children’s parents ignored it. But it was not Butorin who decided whether or not to organize the competition. It is of course a shame that such a situation has arisen.
There will be no more regional team from now on, the boat of love has crashed into everyday life. In the Arkhangelsk region there was a superclub, first of all it was necessary to raise its skiers. I don’t know what kind of funding there will be in the area now, people will probably try it on their own. The story itself is bad, because it was necessary to reach an agreement, but, apparently, Butorin was offended and, as they say, his own hand is queen,” Guberniev told .
The Arkhangelsk region in the 2023/24 season was represented, among others, by three-time Olympic champion Alexander Bolshunov and Olympic champion Veronika Stepanova.
