— I am satisfied with the race. It’s always nice to win. Dissatisfied with standing shot. But, probably, in such weather conditions you cannot blame yourself very much. You just need to draw certain conclusions and move on.
How did you spend your New Years vacation?
– We had a pretty tough training camp. They did aerobic and weight training exercises. Therefore, we are now operating at a certain “load”. However, I am satisfied with the current state of health.
– Many did not go here, they decided to skip the stage in Rybinsk. How important was it for you to start here?
– I can’t distinguish main or non-main starts this season. Maybe I pay a little more attention to the Russian Championship. Nevertheless, we prepared for the whole summer, we did a great job. Competitions are where we can perform our skills. I love starting, I want to take part in all the races.
“This season is going to be a success. You are in the top 3 of the general classification of the Russian Cup. Want to fight for victory?
“Yes, of course, I don’t hide that one of my goals for the season is the fight for first place overall,” Noskova told .
