Olympic cross-country ski champion Veronica Stepanova In her column on , she wrote that all the best skiers in Russia will definitely come to the Legkov Race next year, motivated by high prizes.
The tenth race of Olympic winner Alexander Legkov took place from February 23 to 24, 2024 in the Moscow region. Ski competitions took place between professionals, between amateurs and between children over different distances. The price of the ride was 5 million rubles.
— In the coming season, if a skier wins literally all starts: all races of the Russian Cup and Championship, the final of the Russian Cup in Kirovsk (thanks to the efforts of a major sponsor, it looks like increasingly at separate competitions, the Russian Ski Tour), he will receive a little more than five million rubles, according to my calculations. We don’t have a Spartakiad this season, nor a Commonwealth Cup. And we can only dream of the MLKB Cup.
Do not be surprised that all the best skiers will definitely come to the Legkov Race, which will be held in a new location in 2025. We all really like the show that Alexander and his team prepare every year. It’s a big event, the best opportunity to meet sponsors, and for some, to wear an evening dress. But everyone loves Legkov’s prize races just as much: in one morning you can win as much as in six or seven Russian Cup races,” Stepanova wrote.
In October, Elena Rudakova, creator of the Legkov race, from “”, and Olympic champion Alexander Legkov, the All-Russian public movement “Healthy Fatherland” and the Ministry of Physical Culture and Sports of the Ryazan region signed a partnership agreement at the forum “Russia – a sports power” in order to popularize a healthy lifestyle, skiing and the involvement of the population in physical education and sports.
