Coach of the Russian team Yuri Borodavko in a conversation with a correspondent, he said he saw no ease in the performance of the three-time Olympic champion Alexandra Bolshunova skiathlon at the Russian Cup cross-country stadium in Syktyvkar.
Bolshunov won the skiathlon with a result of 1 hour 13 minutes 31.1 seconds, second place was taken by Ilya Semikov with a delay of 27.7 seconds. Alexey Chervotkin closed the top three (+28.5).
– I didn’t talk to Alexander after the race about his tactics, but it was clear that he didn’t have such ease. However, after two days of competition, he got tired, he had to give his all. Therefore, apparently, I had to choose the “win with little blood” tactic – contract once, swerve and hold on. Again, I didn’t talk to him, but at least it looked like that,” Borodavko told .
– In your opinion, who can impose a serious fight on him in distance races this season? Yet when he is in peak condition, then, it seems, he has no equal at all.
– We know the strength of Artem Maltsev in skating, Denis Spitsov. They are brilliant skaters, in good condition they can create competition. Always the same Alexey Chervotkin, Ilya Semikov, Ilya Poroshkin. They have proven that they are also capable of imposing a fight with a higher quality training set. They are still able to acquire functional and physical conditions.
