Three-time Olympic champion in cross-country skiing Julia Chepalova said she did not allow anyone to touch her skis and poles before starts, pointing out that she was a superstitious athlete.
All athletes are superstitious. I also believed in signs, in superstitions. I am for no one touching my skis and poles. I’m sure if someone steps over the skis, you’ll 100% fall or stumble at some pointless time. It worked and he belongs,” Chepalova said on Magic of Big Sports on .
Chepalova also has two gold medals at the world championships, two silver and one bronze at the Olympics.
