Three-time Olympic champion in cross-country skiing Alexander Bolshunov said that most likely he would not participate in the relay at Champion Heights in Malinovka because two teammates fell ill.
Men’s and women’s relay races as part of the All-Russian “Champion Heights” competition in the Arkhangelsk region will be held on March 2. Bolshunov represents the Arkhangelsk region.
– They said that Klebo had a goal – six gold medals at the World Championships. Have you set yourself the goal of winning six gold medals here too?
– In fact, it is difficult to win six gold medals, because there are individual races and team races, – the correspondent reports Bolshunov’s words. – Now let’s say, most likely, we will not run the relay, because two athletes have fallen ill.
– You can’t run four steps?
– Terentiev suggested that he run first. I am the second and third steps, he is the fourth. But you have to go to Elena Valerievna, ask if it’s possible.
– Upset about not running the relay?
— I don’t know, there’s still time before the relay. Maybe everything will be fine.
