Skier Savely Korostelev in an interview with , he told how the fall affected him Alexandra Bolshunova and Sergei Ustyugov in the semifinals of the sprint skating at the Russian Cup stage in Krasnogorsk.
Bolshunov and Ustyugov collided in the semi-final of the skating sprint in Krasnogorsk. As a result, both athletes did not reach the final. Korostelev, in turn, also failed to break through in the decisive race.
– How was it to return to the Russian Cup stages from China, where the rivals are of a slightly different class?
– I would say that the level of rivals is completely different, – Korostelev told . – Even despite the fact that some guys went to the Olympics there. We were told they were in quarantine for six months after the 2022 Olympics and hadn’t actually trained.
It was nice to be back. There was a thought that everything would be interesting, it would be cool to return to combat. I understood that there would be a kind of jet lag at the same time. As a result, everything went well in Krasnogorsk in the classic sprint, I was happy with fourth place.
Konkov was rather unhappy. Probably, the fall of Bolshunov and Ustyugov somehow disgusted me morally. I analyzed that later, and even the first thing my mom (2010 Vancouver OI-bronze medalist Natalya Korosteleva) wrote to me was, “You kind of changed after the guys fell.” As if my race was over after the fall. The two main people are down and I’m like “Fuck, are you okay?”
At the same time, it seems that you still calmly perceive your falls.
– It happens so often (laughs)… Therefore, I jumped up and ran further. Fortunately, the level still allows running with falls.
