“Korostelev surprised during the mass start uphill in Kirovsk. It was powerful” – Vyalbe

President of the Russian Ski Racing Federation (RFSR) Elena Vyalbe admitted she was surprised by the performance Savelia Korosteleva during the mass start on a free climb during the final of the PhosAgro Russian Cup in Kirovsk.

The 10 kilometer race took place on April 7. In the fight for gold, 20-year-old Korostelev was ahead Alexei Chervotkin (+9.2 seconds) and three-time Olympic champion Alexandra Bolshunova (+14.8).

– Yes, it was powerful. I was a little sorry that Denis Spitsov, who is a real miner, did not participate in this race. It would be interesting to see Korostelev if they raced together. It’s the first. And secondly, Savely still has a very young body, he recovers faster than those who are older. With age, at the end of the season, the loads are more difficult to bear. But overall, he surprised me a lot,” RT Vyalbe quotes.

From April 2 to 7, the finals of the “PhosAgro” Russian Cup took place in the Murmansk region.
