Alexandre Bolshunov, father of three-time Olympic cross-country ski champion Alexandra Bolshunova told that the son was left alone in the team of the Arkhangelsk region, he had no one to compete with in team races, so changing the region was just a matter of time.
On Saturday, the president of the Ski Racing Federation of Tatarstan, Ilshat Fardiev, announced the transfer of 27-year-old Bolshunov to the republic’s national team. Previously, the skier competed for the Arkhangelsk region.
—To be honest, he stayed alone in Arkhangelsk. It was also impossible to organize a team race there. Who should he play with? The transition was therefore a question of time. This has advantages. But I didn’t tell Sasha about the transition.
— How is Alexandre preparing for the season?
“He is in the mood to work responsibly, regardless of the problems,” Bolshunov Sr. told .
