Olympic cross-country ski champion Veronica Stepanova in a column on , she placed the mountain race of the Russian Cup final in Kirovsk in third place in the list of main events of the ski season, noting that it turned out to be a good entertaining show for vacationers.
The Russian ski season ended on April 7 with an uphill mass start at the Russian Cup final in Kirovsk. Among women, 18-year-old Alina Pekletsova won, Stepanova took second place. At the same time, Stepanova became the overall winner of the Country Cup at the end of the season.
— In third position (in the list of main events of the season) is the uphill race in Kirovsk. New format, new leaders. In general, this is a serious attempt, not just in words, to arouse the interest of the general public. Everything is logical. Significant amounts of money are being invested in the development of the Apatity resort, planes from Moscow and St. Petersburg are flying at full capacity, tourists want not only to go to local restaurants, but also to have fun one way or another.
Here we are, ski racers, and have provided entertainment to thousands of skiers from the surrounding area. Yes, yes – an expression I love – it turned out to be a good, entertaining show for about an hour. People looked at us, applauded, groaned – and went back to skiing from the slopes, then to the bars.
I am not bothered by the entertainment role of the public on vacation. In summer, the best actors and singers tour along the Black Sea coast. Everyone considers this normal. To my knowledge, the television viewing figures for mountaineering were also excellent. That means the advertisers will come next time. In general, with initiative,” Stepanova wrote.
