— A lot of guys say that the big favorite in the competition [МЛКБ] – Gray Tail?
— Open the protocol of the Russian championship…
– When he was…
– Summer! 24th place, I think. One minute of defeat with a move towards Latypov. I am now preparing to enter the top 10. This is the motivation so far. Then we’ll find out by February. It’s really possible to be in great shape now. What’s the point?
– Win a million! For second place they give 500 thousand.
“I’ll win now, let myself down, and then my form will decline. Do I have to be withdrawn for the whole month of December? I wouldn’t force it. I Artem Evgenievich [Истомин] don’t force us. We are just preparing for the season.
– Who will be especially disappointed?
— Latypov (Laughs). For the money, yes! He flies here from Seminsky Pass. Of course he was disappointed.
—Who do you think could be the big favorite this season among the men?
– I can name two – Smolsky and Latypov. No offense to Edik, but based on his summer debut, Anton seems stronger. That’s the rating for now. After them there is a great abyss (Laughs). And then somewhere we are, on the second or third rung.
— Serokhvostov and Khalili?
— (Laughs) These two can be crossed out!
– Is this the third level?
– Probably already the fourth.
—Who else could be interesting this season?
– Eremin, strong, Kornev, he is also a very strong junior. Babikov, Loginov, who will return now, Pashchenko, Porshnev – you can name many names. But they all go through such failure [после лидеров].
— What is your goal for the season?
– Don’t get sick. This is my main goal for the season.
– That is, if you are healthy, then everything is fine and everything happens by itself?
– I have not done it yet [эту цель]. Before the test, I got sick literally two days before. I just had a sore throat, but I decided to start, but I didn’t seem to get sick,” Serokhvostov said on .
The channel will broadcast the MLKB races live.
