Olympic medalist in speed skating Olga Fatkoulina told that she had started preparing for the season as a coach of the Chelyabinsk speed skaters and would perform at the Summer Cup in Chelyabinsk.
Anastasia Altukhova, Arina Krylova, Polina Chesnokova, Varvara Turova, Valeria Evsega train under the guidance of Fatkulina.
— We wanted to unite athletes who remained outside the national team, but at the same time with potential. It was planned that we would train as one team. But then Alexander Sergeevich Oreshkin said that I should realize myself as a coach and take responsibility, working according to my own plan. I accepted this challenge and now the girls are under the leadership of me and my husband, Alexander Rudopysov.
The next generation must be a priority, so that when we are admitted, we have someone to talk to. Today, our generation is over and we need a replacement. That is why we decided that I should now become a player-coach. I pass on my experience and at the same time I continue to train.
— What was your first departure?
— We are holding the Summer Cup in Chelyabinsk on August 22-23. I am running the 500m and 3000m, I have not run in the troika since 2009,” Fatkulina told .
