Olympic champion in short track, Olympic silver medalist in team speed skating Ruslan Zakharov said that during the season there had been a series of starts on “cool” rinks and that the warmer rink in Kolomna was already missing.
On Tuesday, the Russian Cup stage started in Chelyabinsk.
— Ruslan, Viktor Alexandrovich Sivkov said that your group will perform at this stage, but none of the leaders ran the 5000 m.
– We are now preparing for the Russian championship in the all-around, so we skip the 5000m here, we will run other distances. I will make my debut tomorrow at 1000 meters, for example, – Zakharov told .
“How is Chelyabinsk?” Is it hot on the rink?
– We were just sitting here with the guys, talking about it and reminiscing about the last time we were hot. It so happened that according to the calendar there were St. Petersburg, Irkutsk, Kemerovo, Chelyabinsk, the Russian championship in Irkutsk is yet to come. All the rinks are “cool”, and it’s also cool on the street – it reaches -30. So we miss Kolomna already.
– That is to say, you will lead the final of the Russian Cup?
– Let’s run, of course.
