Coach of the Russian team Artem Istomine in an interview with , he spoke about the lack of places at Russian training bases.
There are ten athletes in Istomin’s group: Kristina Reztsova, Ksenia Dovgaya, Ekaterina Noskova, Svetlana Mironova, Elizaveta Kaplina, Anastasia Goreeva, Larisa Kuklina, Natalya Gerbulova, Daniil Serokhvostov and Karim Khalili.
— Are you making any special preparations for the summer Commonwealth Cup, which will be held in Sochi from August 25-29?
– There is no such possibility. We didn’t have a high camp, so forcing the form for the Summer Cup is just losing the season. A month to prepare, then another month to perform, – in this situation, August and September fly away. October and November will remain, and that is not enough.
– Why didn’t you organize a rally at high altitude?
– A set of factors, including subjective ones. Late request for accommodation in the mountains. There are many teams, all of them are in Russia. Priority for those who have booked in advance. Methodically, a gathering at altitude would not hurt: it would be easier to start at the Commonwealth Cup. They could claim a successful performance not because of the loads, but precisely because of the height cleared. But it turned out, as it turned out, that we are continuing the groundwork that we did in July. For young athletes, and in our group there are the majority, it is only good.
– Will you have time to get used to Krasnaya Polyana after the Tyumen plain?
– We arrive on August 23, the day before the first race in Sochi. We will live below, five hundred meters away, no restoration problem is to be expected. We will use the height later, in the second step of rolling.
