Commentator for Dmitry Guberniev said he was not neglecting the Olympic champion Yulia Stupak after having decided to prepare for next season alone.
Earlier on Thursday, the Russian Ski Racing Federation (FLGR) approved the list of national team candidates and the composition of training groups for the 2024/25 season. Stupak joined the preliminary group of coach Yegor Sorin. Later, the skier said that she would continue to train in self-training.
“She said she’s not on any list, but she’s not giving up. Perhaps he will find a private investor or reach an agreement with a region and work according to someone’s plans. Her husband is still quite a famous skier and she is in contact with Markus Kramer. It will be all the more interesting to see whether, in our conditions, an athlete who trains independently is able to compete with the leaders of the national team. I will follow Stupak with interest and under no circumstances will I leave her aside. Yulia is a beauty, a superstar, an Olympic champion, one of the faces of our team, pretty, cheerful. We need such people in skiing, I sincerely wish you good luck and I will follow his performances,” Guberniev told .
Stupak missed the 2024 Russian Championship, which took place in the Arkhangelsk region. Last season she was part of Egor Sorin’s group and did not win any medals.
