Senior coach of the Russian cross-country ski team Yuri Borodavko told that the coaching team cannot determine with absolute certainty what is happening this season with the three-time Olympic champion Alexander Bolshunov .
On Monday, Bolshunov failed to overcome the quarterfinal stage of the classic sprint at the second stage of the PhosAgro Cup of Russia in Vershina Tei (Republic of Khakassia).
— Bolshunov’s problem is that there is a limiting health factor that prevents him from accessing the positions he held. After falling ill in Khanty-Mansiysk, something is wrong with his body. We cannot determine 100% what exactly it is.
— Did you speak to Alexander after today’s sprint?
– Not yet. He himself understands that he does not have the State, the comfort that he had before. We cannot yet find the reason for this, but it clearly interferes with the functional and physical condition of Alexander,” Borodavko told .
The second stage of the Russian Cup will end on December 4. On this day, mass starts of men’s and women’s freestyle (20 km) will take place. Watch the live broadcast from 5:55 p.m. Moscow time on matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
