Medalist at the World Speed Skating Championships Daria Kachanova told that she did not intend to refuse to participate in the Russian Championships in the all-around sprint competition.
Kachanova won these competitions in Kemerovo, winning at all distances.
“Everything didn’t go as I would have liked.” Each departure has tasks and goals. I never thought I would miss the Russian Championship because of the Spartakiad. And I cannot give Spartakiad a higher priority than the Russian Championship.
— Despite the fact that Spartakiade offers higher prices?
– This is not the most important thing in sport. My priorities have always been different.
— Technically, did you manage to work as well as you would like, considering that the ice is not optimal, as your colleagues say?
— The ice is quite heavy, as they say, not very rolling and not very smooth. It was quite difficult to go through it, but nevertheless, tactical and technical tasks could be performed, although not with the same quality and not at the speeds that we would like.
— Was this your first time running in Kemerovo?
– Yes. Last year I missed the Russian Championship due to injury. The skating rink is cool, the arena is good, the arena is large, comfortable and everything is quite compact, somewhat reminiscent of Irkutsk. In general, the arena is good, but unfortunately the ice prepared for the Russian Championship was not of the quality that we would like, ”Kachanova told .
