Senior coach of the Russian national team Yuri Borodavko told that the three-time Olympic champion Alexander Bolshunov does not think about ending his career and has plans for the distant future.
Earlier, Elena Vyalbe, President of the Russian Ski Federation, said on that Bolshunov plans to participate in the 2030 Olympics. At the 2030 Olympics, Bolshunov will be 33 years old.
— Does Bolshunov still have the passion to continue competing only in Russian competitions?
– Certainly. He’s already asked me where the 2030 and 2034 Olympics will be held. So Sasha is looking far ahead, I don’t think he intends to finish.
— The locomotive of Russian skiing?
– Yes, everyone admires him. I know that many foreign journalists and athletes follow his career, watch the races that take place here and follow Alexandre. A lot of people are surprised at the level and competition we have.
— It is difficult to compare the results of absentees. If Alexander were to participate in international competitions, what could he claim?
“When he starts, he always only fights for victory. I wouldn’t say Sasha would beat everyone 100%, but he would definitely fight for at least the top three and maximum for the gold medals,” Borodavko told .
Last season, 27-year-old Bolshunov won 25 victories in personal races.
Russian skiers have no longer been allowed to participate in international competitions under the auspices of the FIS since 2022 due to the situation in Ukraine.
