Borzakovsky on the football ultramarathon: “I wanted to play every 26 hours, but it didn’t work out. I think it’s not far”

Olympic 800 meter champion Yuri Borzakovsky told that he wanted to play 26 hours as part of the football ultramarathon taking place in Luzhniki.

On June 1, Luzhniki hosts the All-Russian Football Day. Borzakovsky participated in a 26-hour soccer ultramarathon, spending more than 60 minutes on the field. Based on its results, representatives of the Russian Book of Records will record several achievements at once.

— I could play for a day if I didn’t have to go to the Paris Half Marathon in the Chelyabinsk region in the village of Paris, which will take place tomorrow. I try to be at all the events, play football and support the young people. All this is for the good of the children, for the good of football, for the good of our sport.

I understand that they will make history by participating in the longest match in history. Initially it was to play a full match – 26 hours, but that didn’t work out. I think it’s not far,” Borzakovsky told .
