Senior coach of the Russian cross-country ski team Yuri Borodavko told that he expected to see two-time Olympic medalist Alexander Terentyev in the classic sprint final of the second stage of the Russian Cup.
On Monday, Terentyev failed to qualify for the semi-finals of the classic-style sprint at the PhosAgro Cup of Russia stage in Vershina Tyoy (Republic of Khakassia) – he finished third in his race with a time of 4:12.03. This was not enough to achieve lucky loser status at this stage of the competition.
— Alexander Terentiev’s speech was a real surprise for me. We were waiting for him in the final, hoping that he would be able to show a good result in the classic sprint, but something went wrong,” Borodavko told .
The second stage of the Russian Cup will end on December 4. On this day, mass starts of men’s and women’s freestyle (20 km) will take place. Watch the live broadcast from 5:55 p.m. Moscow time on matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru.
