Olympic speed skating champion Svetlana Jourova told that this year she completely changed her skiing technique, which helped her in the Race of Stars biathlon.
On Sunday, Zhurova, in a duet with Dmitry Malyshko, finished second in the Race of Stars. Ekaterina Yurlova-Perkht and Alexey Kondarantsev took first place, Andrey Makoveev and Veronika Zhukova took third place.
— This is my first participation in the awards, before I was somewhere there. The feeling is incredible because I was preparing for this race. Even the coach told me: “Sveta, you are doing very well, because you have been training for a week. ” If you do it in advance, as Kondarantsev does, it will be even better and, perhaps, we will compete with him.
Kondarantsev is very strong, he skis as soon as the snow falls. If an amateur wants to fight for something, he has to train. In the Race of Stars you have to run very fast with your legs.
“Your equipment is in perfect condition,” Dmitry Guberniev even noted. Does your speed skating experience help you?
— This year again, I completely changed it. A week ago I realized I needed to learn how to speed skate. I tried: first I ran 100 meters, then 200, 500, a kilometer and then it all went from there. Therefore, today there is a result – a second place, which I am very happy with,” Zhurova told .
