Olympic bronze medalist in speed skating Angelina Golikova said on that the Spartakiad of the strongest in Russia took place at the level of the World and European Championships.
Golikova missed the starts at the start of the season due to health reasons. At the Spartakiad of the Strongest in Chelyabinsk, she won bronze in the 500 meters and gold in the team race as part of the Moscow team.
— For me, the Spartakiad of the Strongest is an event on the same level as the European and World Championships. They are very similar in the sense that the atmosphere of a big start was felt, which is important not only for the athletes, but also for the public.
There were a lot of spectators, although we thought they would only come for the sprint disciplines, they also came for the long distances and mass starts. When I went to the mass start, I was pleasantly surprised by how the people in the stands were cheering us on.
I am very happy to have participated in competitions of this rank and won a prize, because sport is about luck and everything else. The competition is over, I’m moving on and I’m going to prepare for next season. Lack of gold [в личной гонке] It doesn’t hurt me at all. I understand why everything happened like this, there is nothing to worry about,” Golikova said on the “Gromko” show on .
The Spartakiad of the Strongest ended on Sunday, it took place in five regions of the country: in the Chelyabinsk region (Chelyabinsk, Zlatoust, Magnitogorsk, Kusa, Miass), Tyumen region (Tyumen), Krasnoyarsk region ( Krasnoyarsk), Sverdlovsk region (Nizhny Tagil) and Krasnodar region (Sochi).
