The avalanche passed us. It was uncomfortable, the crackling of the trees was the loudest. It was the first time I had seen this with my own eyes, a terrible sight. It’s good that the avalanche did not hit the track and the road leading to it.
We, athletes, coaches are fine. By the time the avalanche fell, they had already trained. Received information that tomorrow we are not riding. Maybe because of the avalanche danger, Ivanova told .
