Everything is fine, training is going well. Between meetings, we meet with family and go out into the world. I saw friends, ran a half marathon, the job there is completely different, it turned out. It is a sport that requires discipline and preparation. I would like to believe that the preparations are going well, the atmosphere in the group is friendly, everyone likes it. I joined the work, the specifics of the group.
There is a small chance of going to the championship and the World Cup, I believe in it. Everyone tells me: forget it. But who knows? I would like to convey the truth that professional athletes have been doing this all their lives, for us the most important thing is to perform, it’s like a breath of fresh air.
Despite the difficult situation in the world, we want to perform. I even had such thoughts that until we were released, I would not finish my career. Until I feel the pedestal, I don’t want to leave,” Stupak said.
In March, the International Ski Federation (FIS) suspended Russian and Belarusian athletes from international competition until at least the end of the 2021/22 season. In July, the organization extended the suspension until the end of the 2022 summer season.
