russian skier Savely Korostelev told in an interview with how he was offered to play in the opposing team’s relay at the Russian-Chinese Games in Changchun.
In the relay race, Korostelev played as part of the Chinese team. As a result of this race, skiers of both teams received gold medals, because Korostelev finished together with Yegor Mitroshin, holding hands.
– Everyone noticed how you competed for the Chinese in the relay. How were you even offered this?
“At first they told me to give up the stint so that all our guys come with medals,” Korostelev told . – At that time I was already with gold. He was therefore unable to participate in the relay race at all.
However, on the eve of the evening race, coach Sergey Sergeyich Dergunov comes to me and says: “Savely, you are running the relay.” I asked in surprise: “What?”, And he said to me: “For the Chinese.” I didn’t believe it for a long time. It sounded like some kind of joke. Then I had to believe. We can say that for Chinese skiers I am now mine (laughs).
The Russian-Chinese Youth Games were held from December 14 to 20.
