World speed skating record holder Pavel Kulizhnikov announced to that he would miss the second stage of the Russian Speed Skating Cup.
29-year-old Kulizhnikov won the 1000 meters at the Russian Cup stage in Kolomna.
— How do you evaluate the result and the race in general? There was a problem at 500m yesterday.
— My leg slipped, it can happen to anyone, but not running because of that, leaving the start is not an option either. I should go to St. Petersburg for the second leg. Now I ran away, got my points and skipped the next step. “A thousand” must be considered in relation to the others. Last time, everyone ran a little faster. The ice was different then, but now it got colder, and then there was rain. Many factors influence ice. It’s clear that my race was poor, but now that I have points I can skip St. Petersburg. There’s no point in going there.
—And Chelyabinsk?
“I will run the remaining stages, where there are normal indoor ice rinks,” Kulizhnikov told .
