Olympic cross-country skiing champion Veronique Stepanova In a column on , she said that the managers of the company developing the Kirovsk ski resort were satisfied with the way the climb up the mountain went during the Russian Cup final last season.
The Russian ski season ended on April 7 with an uphill mass start at the Russian Cup final in Kirovsk. In the women’s race, Alina Pekletsova won, Stepanova took second place.
— This year we had for the first time an uphill race (on skis) at the Russian Cup final in Kirovsk. The very one that was brilliantly won by Pekletsova and Savely Korostelev from the new generation of the national team.
It was very difficult, believe me, you can only do such a race once a season, it takes too much energy. But the ratings are also appropriate – almost the most popular show of the 2023/24 ski season among viewers. Yes, organizing races like Aykuaivenchorr or Lysebotn is more difficult than the traditional “three laps of five km”, but if you want to be noticed, remembered, talked about, it is not optional. It is necessary!
I had the opportunity to ask the managers of the company that develops the Kirovsk ski resort and which financed the bulk of the money for organizing the race: did they make a profit? “Yes, we have gained recognition at the all-Russian level,” they confidently answered me. QED Do you want to arouse the interest of the public? Look for a mountain or at least a hill! — wrote Stepanova.
