Head coach of the Russian speed skating team Dmitry Dorofeev told that he had questions about electronics and timing at the Russian Championship in Irkutsk.
The sprint competition program ended on Monday. Daria Kachanova and Ruslan Murashov each won two victories at distances of 500 and 1,000 m.
– We arrived a little early, without acclimatization – we passed it by steam locomotive. Ruslan Murashov basically showed his results, maybe I would like to be faster. Daria Kachanova also ran well in 500m, the 1000m was more difficult. I can’t objectively assess the quality of the ice at the moment, as we haven’t trained here long enough to judge. But again, it was warmer outside.
— How does Viktor Mushtakov feel? He raced after an injury and was left without a medal. Did you manage to recover?
“He is not yet ready to show good results after the injury. I lost 0.01 seconds in third place. There are also questions regarding electronics: for some people 0.2 seconds are removed, for others they are added. The electronics are not objectively ready. Old stuff, no new stuff, no one can fix it, it’s all about hockey – there was a hockey game the day before.
— Generally speaking, how do you evaluate the performance of the men’s sprint?
— Those who have just joined the team are more motivated anyway. Nikita Bazyuk came second twice – he worked with the leaders, additional motivation appeared and significant growth. Artem Arefiev ran well,” Dorofeev told .
