Skier Alexander Terentiev After the victory of the Arkhangelsk region team in the men’s relay at the Alfa-Bank Russian Championship in Malinovka, he told what advice the three-time Olympic champion Alexander Bolshunov helped him.
The Arkhangelsk region team included Alexander Terentyev, Alexey Chervotkin, Savely Korostelev and three-time Olympic champion Alexander Bolshunov. They covered the distance in 1 hour 11 minutes 22.7 seconds.
“It seems to me that the guys were more worried about me today than I was worried about myself.” He went out, got ready and broke down. Alexander Bolshunov told me to start at my own pace. I started at my own pace, then continued to add, I realized that the guys had eaten enough in the first few laps, but there wasn’t enough for the rest of the distance.
— Is it harder or easier to play knowing that such names will start in the team after you?
– When you run your stage and you take a minute and a half, like last year, it wasn’t easier.
— Has the season just started for you?
“Yes, it started today and ended today,” Terentyev said on .
Olympic champion Alexey Chervotkin also spoke about the race.
“It’s probably morally and psychologically easier to start with such a team, but we still can’t relax. You can worry about the other steps, but make a mess of yours. You need to concentrate on your work and, surrounded by such athletes, everything should be just great. The stage was quite difficult for me, my health was not ideal at all,” Chervotkin said on .
Savely Korostelev emphasized that the team from the Arkhangelsk region in Malinovka was obliged to win the relay.
– This is how it should be. We are in Malinovka. We have to win here,” Korostelev told .
