Skier Savely Korostelev said he was ready to compete in the final of the sprint race at the Russian Championship in Tyumen, but was a bit short.
Korostelev finished fourth in the second semifinal.
– Of course, counting on the final. There was a challenge for this race. I almost pulled the guys at the end of the second climb, in the third, on the contrary, I picked it up. Upon arrival, he turned out to be a little rehabilitated, but that was not enough. The first two skiers have already gone too far, – the correspondent reports Korostelev’s words.
– With what Yakimushkin It happened?
– I do not even know. The second climb I run, I turn around. I am the last, there is no one.
– You said in Top of Thea that the guys are not in good shape yet. Now everything is as it should be, is it working?
– Certainly. This is “Champion Heights”, that the championship of Russia – two main starts. No more excuses are accepted. This is what we are preparing for the whole season.
– Are you a little disappointed with these results?
– Of course, there are many moments in the sprint, on which the race depends. Not just by force. Again, I would like to go to the final. That’s what I was capable of now. I was ready for the final, but I still didn’t shoot a bit.
