Head coach of the Russian cross-country ski team Yuri Borodavko told that Yegor Mitroshin was too focused on fighting Saveliy Korostelev in the sprint, which is why he let eventual race winner Denis Filimonov pass.
On Monday, Mitroshin took second place in the free sprint at the first stage of the Russian Cup in Vershina Teya (Republic of Khakassia), losing 0.39 seconds to Filimonov. Korostelev came third (+0.59). Anastasia Faleeva won the women’s race.
— The girls were delighted with Alena Baranova, who managed to win prizes – for her this is not just a success, but a small step forward. Masha Istomina is just starting to get into shape, it’s a shame she couldn’t qualify for the final. I think she would be able to create competition in the final. Tomorrow, I think, his condition will be much better.
As for the guys, of course, Egor Mitroshin was happy, he took second place. He fought with Saveliy Korostelev and after the race he said that he was focusing specifically on his fight and therefore let Filimonov move ahead. But I think Denis would not have given Yegor a chance, because he is really good,” Borodavko told .
