Skier Savely Korostelev in an interview with he answered the question whether the Olympic champion is a guide for him Sergei Ustyugov .
Ustyugov won the Beijing 2022 gold medal in the relay, he is also a double world champion in 2017.
– Ustyugov cooperates with your father-in-law (Evgeny Uftikov is a military member of the Russian national team) and you said that you liked Sergey as an athlete. Do you communicate often?
“Especially when we meet somewhere. At the same time, we communicate well.
– Can we say that he was a sort of guide for you?
– In general, I have tried for my part never to take cues from athletes. Nevertheless, if you perceive Sergey as a goal, who to defeat – maybe yes (laughs).
– And what is more important for you in this career period – the opportunity to defeat such athletes as Ustyugov and Bolshunov, or to try to surpass yourself in terms of speed, for example?
– You can never compare past and present results. If only in places. Because everything always depends on the weather, many other factors. First of all, there’s a big motivation in the fact that a lot of guys who’ve played at the World Cups before are locked down here now. I have the opportunity to compete with them, to beat them.
This season, 19-year-old Korostelev has won three gold and two bronze medals at the Russian Cup in cross-country skiing.
