Winner of the Speed Skating World Championships Evgenia Lalenkova told that she watched broadcasts of World Cup stages and felt sad because she missed the atmosphere of international competitions.
Lalenkova on the first day of the Russian Cup final won the 3000m (4 minutes 10.42 seconds). In the context of the situation in Ukraine, Russian athletes have been suspended from participating in international competitions under the auspices of the International Skating Union (ISU).
– I wanted to show good seconds, faster than 4 minutes 10 seconds, but something didn’t work. But the “five hundred” are gone. I hope that the middle-grounds will go well.
– Are you going to watch the World Cup?
– I watch the broadcasts of the stages of the World Cup. It is interesting to see what seconds are displayed, it is surprising that sometimes athletes show uneven results over a short period of time. For me, an incomprehensible aspect. It’s different for me: if I run until a certain segment of the season, then I will run more or less the same with respect to the rink. I think now, before the world championships in Heerenveen, they will start to amaze with seconds. It’s interesting to see new athletes starting to show up. Very interesting character Jordan Stoltz. He runs from 500 m to 5000 m, which means that he has an aerobic base, there is enough to impose speed.
“Isn’t it sad to watch the World Cup?”
– Sad. I want to be in this atmosphere, especially in Heerenveen. I miss the ice rink. The fans play a huge role in it. I will never forget the European Championship where I won my first medal.
Do fans write?
– Write behemoths of pain for speed skating. They write that we are not enough for general competition, for a general increase in results,” Lalenkova told .
