Olympic cross-country skiing champion Yulia Stupak called rumors about his strained relationship with Russian Ski Racing Federation head Elena Vyalbe “fantasies.”
In February 2024, at the Spartakiad of the Strongest, Vyalbe said that Stupak had “a little problem with his head” after the athlete failed to reach the final of the sprint race in the classical style. Stupak then said she was not offended.
— What is your relationship with Elena Valerievna? Everything seems tense for you.
– This is not true. I can call her right away, she will say: “Yes, Yulechka.” The fact that we have a tense relationship is someone else’s fantasy, “Stupak told Metaratings.ru.
In July, Stupak announced that she had voluntarily left the Russian national team to try outside sports and was now training freely.
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.
