Olympic cross-country ski champion Veronica Stepanova in his column on suggested that Elizaveta Pantrina there is every chance of becoming the new leader of the Russian season.
At the Spring Russian Championships, Pantrina won three silver medals – in the sprint, team sprint and relay, and also became eighth in the skiathlon. In the 2024 Russian Cup standings, 22-year-old Pantrina only lost to Stepanova. Veronica will miss the upcoming season due to her pregnancy.
— At the entrance to Oberhof, Germany, there is a huge poster with a photo and words of support from my old friend and German national team rival, Lisa Lohmann. It all makes sense: Lisa may not be the leader of her team yet, but she’s local, she grew up in Oberhof. Our analogue of the German Oberhof is the “Pearl of Siberia” near Tyumen. These are world-class luxury resorts. And “Pearl” has her own local pride: my colleague from the training group and also Lisa, Pantrina. I see her as the leader of the upcoming Russian ski season, she has everything for that. All that is missing is a huge and beautiful poster at the entrance to the stadium. For some reason, it is not customary for us to be proud of local champions visually, clearly and constantly! What’s stopping you? — wrote Stepanova.
