Triple Olympic medalist Edward Latypov told that his family members were very worried if he did not do well in races.
Latypov became the first in the mass start of the Alfa-Bank Russian Cup stage in Khanty-Mansiysk on Sunday, covering a distance of 15 kilometers in 42 minutes 17.9 seconds.
“I dedicate this victory to my family: my wife Daria, my daughters Victoria and Arisha. Big family! My parents too, everyone who supports me and worries about me. I try to make them happy every race. They are very sick and worried about me. They get upset if I don’t succeed. They worry even more than me. They even take it to heart more, thinking about how hard it is for me here. But we get used to everything, we try to analyze failures and work on them.
— Does your eldest daughter watch you play?
– Yes. When he’s not in kindergarten, he watches. He can call and ask: “How did you get here?” (Laughs). He asks to see the medals.
— What do you bring him from the stages of the Russian Cup?
— Souvenir gifts offered here. I can bring a bouquet if I have time. She likes it,” Latypov told .
