Double world luge champion Semyon Pavlichenko who was seriously injured last year, has stopped limping and is going to the gym, the national team head coach told . Sergei Chudinov .
The national team gathering in Sochi will end on January 21. Pavlichenko tore his Achilles tendon in September while playing volleyball. Earlier, Chudinov told that the athlete will start training as part of the Russian national team with restrictions and they will not speed up his recovery.
– The weather at the training camp is good, it gave us a gift – dry air, sun. We did everything we planned. We made some adjustments, made a fair amount. The track condition is very good – the quality of the ice is high. This is the fifth time we are going to the training camp in Sochi, we are used to the beauty of the mountains, so no one pays attention to it (smiles).
A lot of guys spend a lot of time in the workshop, looking for different solutions and options to speed up the sled, working for the future, when there is no international season. We have juniors in the team, they roll less and they get used to the new requirements, they multiply the starting points on the track. They are progressing, but the competition will show how, – said Chudinov “”.
– What can you say about the well-being of athletes?
“Everyone is healthy, there are no injuries or illnesses. As for Semyon Pavlichenko, we were worried about him, how his leg would behave when braking, but he is managing – he stopped limping “, goes to the gym. It’s impossible to say how ready he is yet, but he’s running well. I was more pessimistic about his recovery, and he’s recovering faster than expected.
– When is the next meeting?
– From about February 6 to 18, then for five days, we will have competitions.
