World champion Alexander Loginov told that he felt nostalgic about his visit to the Murmansk slope, because the last time he came here was 18 years ago, when he was just starting skiing and biathlon.
The stage of the Alfa-Bank Commonwealth Cup will be held in Murmansk from April 12 to 14.
— The last time you went to Murmansk was in 2006, wasn’t it?
— Yes, he returned to Murmansk after 18 years. I came to skiing and biathlon quite late and arrived at the ski competitions in Murmansk only eight months after I started practicing this sport. Next to me, Maxim Tsvetkov also competed here; we ran two races here together: speed skating and a classic 10 kilometer mass start. Arriving here now, I remembered those circles. I was nostalgic because it was my first trip and that’s where it all started.
— What was Alexander Loginov like then?
— Young, without equipment (laughs), ambitious.
— Did he believe he could become a professional athlete?
“I honestly admit that at that moment I didn’t think about it,” Loginov told .
