— In general, Spartakiad races are quite interesting and unpredictable. And they are pleasant surprises. For example, the day before, Nastya Batmanova performed an incredible miracle. But usually, such events always hold surprises. Here, of course, I would like to highlight the work of Ira Kazakevich from 17th place and Kristina Reztsova from 12th place. They were simply surprised. But Slivko’s victory can above all be considered a surprise. Vika was the clear favorite in this race. But Ira and Christina are just great guys.
