— The relay race was very interesting. But a bad surprise that Alexander Terentiev badly missed during the first stage. Alexander Bolshunov rushed to win backlog, won back. Not as much as I would like, maybe. Therefore, here the strength of the team shows up among those who had a more even composition. The team from Tyumen had this formation and they deservedly won, ”reports the correspondent of , in the words of Borodavko.
– Bolshunov even got a little angry with Terentyev.
– Every athlete wants to win and not make up for a two-minute gap. There is little to appreciate here. That is why there is discontent. But I think it was all temporary. In the end, Sanya (Bolshunov) is such a person that he changes, steps over that and moves on.
