– Today Nepryaeva was the best on the track, she had no serious competition.
— What can you say about the men’s race?
– The men had a more dynamic race, in the last two laps Semikov and Poroshkin broke away from their competitors and took first and second place respectively. They’ve always been specialists in classic racing, so there’s nothing terribly surprising here.
Russian skiers Alexander Bolshunov and Sergey Ustyugov withdrew from the race. National cross-country team head coach Yuri Borodavko told that Bolshunov suffered a mild concussion in a freestyle sprint race on Tuesday in a collision with Ustyugov and that he would undergo a medical examination.
