russian skier Savely Korostelev told his plans for next season and also noted that his mother, Olympic medalist Natalya Korosteleva, only gives him life advice, not sports advice.
On Wednesday, 19-year-old Korostelev took second place in the 10 kilometer freestyle at the All-Russian competition in Apatity, Murmansk. The race winner was Anton Timashov, who beat Korostelev by 1.8 seconds. Third place with a delay of 8 seconds was taken by Denis Spitsov.
– Was the start unloading or “for all the money”?
– The race is always “for all the money”. Especially when Timashov and Spitsov are nearby. You won’t go out here, you won’t walk around.
“Did you know that Anton was somewhere nearby?” Did the coaches guide you? You were in the lead with 1.7 km to go.
– The coaches were leading, I knew the second was going back and forth. But the last climb was very tough, especially considering the acceleration. It was necessary to pass it more serenely, and to give the maximum on arrival.
– Why do you need a junior marathon on Friday? Russian Championship – mandatory starts?
— End of season, running for fun. It’s one thing to run the 70 with the seniors, it’s another thing to run the junior 50. The speeds are lower, the pleasure is greater.
– The main conclusion for you from the past season?
– Everything is possible. I was hoping to be able to compete with the best, after all, I was twice in the prizes of the Russian summer championship. I understood that I could fight them.
– Are you going to change anything for the next season?
– Certainly, because I will move from the junior group to the adult group. Specific points will be specified later, in contact with the coaches.
– Do you receive sports advice from your mother, the famous skier Natalya Korosteleva?
– Exceptionally vital – my mother and I are great friends. She herself, all the more, does not impose herself, only if I apply, ”the athlete told .
On Friday, Korostelev will start the 50 kilometer marathon as part of the Russian junior championship in Monchegorsk.
