Stepanova told how Lillehammer skiers didn’t sleep half the night before the race due to the storm of celebrating tourists

Olympic cross-country skiing champion Veronika Stepanova in a column on , she recalled a story that once happened in Norway.

– Want another fresh story from those who haven’t heard? During the competitions in Lillehammer, none of the skiers could sleep half the night before the race, because the organizers could not separate the athletes and the ordinary tourists in the hotel, who were violently celebrating something (those who are been to Norway know how they celebrate there). In richer sports – in the same biathlon – the organizers redeem the whole hotel in advance, and one can only dream of such a thing.

Can our sport be saved? It is possible, but we need an initiative leader who will find a team of professionals,” wrote Stepanova.

At the Beijing Olympics, 21-year-old Stepanova won gold in the relay.
