Winner of the Speed Skating World Championships Viktor Mushtakov after a performance at the Russian championship, he told that he was waiting for news about admission to international competitions, but was not obsessed with it.
Mushtakov won the Russian championship in the all-around sprint, which ended in Irkutsk on Sunday.
– How’s your mood? I think it’s much better than after the Russian Championship in Kemerovo.
– In Kemerovo, in general, according to the results, there was nothing to be happy about, there I had a lot of problems with boots and blades, I rearranged, fixed something, – said Mushtakov at .
Did you change shoes just before the Russian Championship?
– I rode for a month in new boots, couldn’t ride and had to rearrange the blades. Apparently they got it a bit wrong. Now I run in old boots and on my old blades.
– Dmitry Dorofeev said that this time you showed everything as it was worked out. Does this match your feelings?
– Yes. Have fun, coaches. I missed 35 seconds to five hundred, that’s a quick result.
– Has the Irkutsk ice rink improved? Ice?
– To say that the ice cream has become better, no. But the ice cubes did a great job! I like the local ice more in terms of structure, here it is harder than in Kolomna. Here the blades don’t break, it’s more pleasant to ride here.
– Is the news from the IOC encouraging or skeptical?
– We’re just waiting. Reconciled with all that. Waiting for new solutions. If you read the admissions news all the time, you will feel awkward. Do you spend the whole cycle constantly thinking about it and not going to the Olympics? We work. We have good competition, the results are at world elite level, as we compete. Let them look at us too – after all, a lot of people compare the way we race and the way we race at the World Cup. We keep the level and we try not to cash in.
