Olympic champion Sergei Ustyugov said that while preparing for the Beijing Olympics, he had an aversion to training and also discussed the idea of ending his career after the tournament.
At the 2022 Olympics, 30-year-old Ustyugov won gold in the men’s relay.
– When I was preparing for the Olympics, there was a turning point with Petya Sedov. We went to prepare for Toblach, and the main group went to the Tour de Ski. I figured out that I had three races in the Olympics and failed several times. Petya fired me at practice. I say I can’t look at the skis, I had unreal disgust.
There were thoughts of ending a career after the Olympics 80% to 20%. 20 says run, and 80 – why, for what? It seems that there are medals in the World Cup, an Olympic award too, not personal, a relay race. Winning the World Cup, I still don’t believe in it. I am no longer young, the wounds are felt.
The woman said, “Run for a year, get high, have fun. We can deal with it,” Ustyugov told .
The skier also noted that he does not plan to engage in political activities at the end of his career.
– When they tell me, if you finish, you will go to the deputies. I say I can’t out there, I’m a truth teller. Because I tell the truth,” Ustyugov added.
