– How is the condition, the preparation?
– Everything is fine, I am preparing, I am training. My first departure will be on November 11. District competitions, mass start. The opponents will be weaker, but this is a test start for me, from which I will start further in the preparation.
– Russian Cup in Khakassia?

And then through the stages of the Russian Cup. Chusovoy, Kirovo‑Chepetsk, Krasnogorsk. Now, you have to acquire a base, you have to train well to start and endure all the races.
– Yugoslavia. First snow” let’s discuss it. The favorite is probably Terentyev. Who can compete with him?
– I would say the potential favorite here is Gleb [Ретивых], because the most experienced, the hungriest, the nastiest in general and in principle. Today I put on Gleb Zealous. I don’t know for everyone. He’s my favorite, especially since he’s my good friend.
After the ascent there is enough plain here, where you can endure the ascent a bit, you can’t run far. And it’s much easier to reach the finish line here. We all know that right now we don’t have anyone stronger than Gleb at the finish line.
Who can move these two?
“We have a lot of young people who are hungry and angry. There’s Filimonov and Ardashev, who prepared in packs with Gleb. how they will manifest is also very interesting. Because Gleb not only improved his sprint skills, but also worked in tandem with them.
– For the girls. Daria and Natalia Nepryaeva. Confrontation between two sisters. What do you think?
– I did not think about it. But he spoke on the phone with his wife. He showed how Natalya ran, others ran after her. She says you can see the level here. Natalia will win without problem. I think the whole world knows this, and not only Russian cross-country skiing.
– Young people, who can impose competition?
– I ride, I watch how they train, how they work. I really like the way Pantrina Elizaveta runs, the way Nastya Faleeva trains. Matsokina Kristina can run well. The most interesting, because it is the first departure. Let’s see! Ustyugov said on .
