Olympic silver medalist speed skating Olga Fatkulina says that the Russian skeleton artist Elena Nikitina off-season, she became interested in speed skating, but a transition to this sport would be unlikely.
Team manager Sergei Gryaztsov previously told that Nikitina in Minsk, where the Russian national teams hold a training camp, decided to try to learn about speed skating.
– We communicate with her, she gave her roller skates, so that something would work out. Then, as far as I know, she trained in Moscow, got up on roller skates and trained on a road bike. The man was just curious. And the transition is really difficult. Ruslan Murashov moved quite late, but from hockey. There are many transitions from the short track, and even those transitions are not an easy process, Fatkulina told .
Elena Nikitina is a bronze medalist of the 2014 Olympics, three-time World Championship medalist, four-time European champion and winner of the Skeleton World Cup in the 2018/19 season.
