Russian ski coach Ivan Bragin told the Championship that Sergei Ustyugov no conflict with Alexander Bolshunov athletes just don’t want to give way on the track.
– Ustyugov and Bolshunov have no conflict: they just don’t want to give in to each other – that’s the point. Everyone wants to be first, that’s why it happens. Everyone lost their youth, including the fans, Bragin said.
Bolshunov and Ustyugov collided on the downhill in the freestyle sprint semifinals of the Russian Cross-Country Cup. According to the three-time Olympic champion, as a result of the fall, he temporarily lost consciousness. The incident did not allow the two skiers to break through in the final race.
On Sunday, as part of the same stage of the Russian Cup, a conflict arose between skiers during the last race of the classic sprint. After the finish, Ustyugov said Bolshunov acted “not humanely” by stepping on his ski. Bolshunov received a written warning, but his result was upheld.
