– Tell me about your condition.
— The condition is normal, stabilizing every day.
— Is the motivation to win a certain number of races there or are you not thinking about it yet?
— I’m not thinking about it yet, because the start of the season is not going well yet. I won’t guess how it will turn out.
—Why doesn’t it work? There was a long period without training, maybe because of this?
— The most important thing is that I missed the period before the start of the season. In October, after a training camp in Sochi, I felt unwell and flew home. The illness lasted until the beginning of November, then he arrived in Khanty-Mansiysk a little later than the others. I trained for five days, then I got sick again with a fever, another three or four days passed, so in the end it took almost a month to get sick. Turns out I was left without extensive training that needed to be done on skis, so now I have to get through it somehow. The races don’t work at all, the body just doesn’t run,” Bolshunov said on .
On December 2, the Russian Cup will host classic-style men’s and women’s sprints. Watch the live broadcast from 05:55 Moscow time on matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
