Head of the Russian Ski Racing Federation (FLGR) Elena Vyalbe told she did not know if the skier would continue Yulia Stupak perform during the upcoming season.
On Tuesday, Stupak said she had left the Russian national team of her own free will to try her hand outside of the sport and was now training freely.
“It seems to me that in order to finally clarify everything, you need to talk to Yulia herself.” She decided not to train with the national team anymore and now works more for herself. Whether she will race or not during the season – only she can answer, I do not know. I can tell you with full confidence that Stupak has no conflicts with me or with anyone in the team. I give her the opportunity to put her head somewhere in place, she tries to do it in different ways. But she must decide, which she has not been able to do lately. She is now, so to speak, a “game coach”. Yes, she trains, but this is absolutely not the kind of training that is necessary to enter the top 3 at the Russian level, “Vyalbe told the correspondent.
In mid-April, the Russian Ski Racing Federation (FLGR) approved the list of candidates for the national team and the composition of training groups for the 2024/25 season. Stupak, 29, joined the preliminary group of coach Yegor Sorin.
