Romanian biathlete Dmitry Shamaev told that the Russian Alexandra Povarnitsyna in childhood was nicknamed Tolstoy.
Povarnitsyn in the current off-season after the unification of Russian men’s teams went to self-training. Previously, Shamaev and Povarnitsyn represented the Udmurt Republic team in Russian competitions.
– Did any of the Russian biathletes surprise you this season?
– Zhenya Emerkhonov has improved a lot, well done! Sanya Povarnitsyn added a lot. I know he lost a lot of weight, lost weight. Although he is not fat … But since childhood he had a nickname Tolstoy. He was so chubby. Now, probably, of all our company and friends, he is the thinnest, but his nickname is Fat (smiles).
Do you still call him that?
– Probably, I call him Tolstoy most often. And therefore Cook’s nickname is more relevant, – said Shamaev “”.
