Olympic medalist in speed skating Olga Fatkoulina said that at the first start after returning to the ice, she intended to run a distance of 500 meters.
After the Beijing Games, Fatkulina took a break from her career due to the birth of her child. Fatkulina’s first start after the break will be at the first stage of the Russian Cup in Kolomna in November.
— I’m definitely going to run the 500 meters, but I don’t know the 1000 meters yet, I’ll see how I feel. Now what motivates me the most is that the Spartakiad will take place in Chelyabinsk. I understand that skating in Chelyabinsk is not developing very well, but I have a lot of fans who want to be like me. I have to perform. This is important for popularizing skating,” Fatkulina told .
