“I was now at the training camp in Syanki, training according to my plan under the supervision of [тренера сборной] Yuraya Sanitra. In principle, everything went well at this training camp. In a few days I’m going to Obertilach in Austria for the first snow, I’ll train there. Later our junior team should join there. I hope I’ll be able to train fully there.”
“According to the plan that we agreed with the management and Juraj, I should join the team on December 4 in Hochfilzen, Austria for the second stage of the World Cup. I hope we stick to this plan.”
“Our team is very strong now, the young people have improved very well. The juniors are growing up very strong. The Summer World Championship showed that we have very great prospects in the men’s team.”
“Taras Lesyuk has added a lot this season – we saw how he performed at the summer World Championships. I think that the fight for a place in the team will be difficult for me too. I believe that in the Nations Cup the team will be able to show even better results than before. The main thing is that everyone is healthy and everything is good in the team’s disposition.”
