The Russian ski team won the 4 x 5 km relay at the Olympics. Yulia Stupak, Natalya Nepryaeva, Tatyana Sorina, Veronika Stepanova became gold medalists.
Stupak at the first stage of the “classics” tried to create a gap, and at first she succeeded, although at the finish line the German almost caught up with her.
“Lucky” with the fact that the main rival, a representative of the Norwegian team, fell behind Yulia by 27 seconds.
The German woman sat behind Nepryaeva and in the last third of the distance she pulled away a little, eventually bringing 4 seconds to the transfer of the stage. The great Teresa Johaug, who had already won twice in Beijing, was 18 seconds behind Natasha.
Tatyana Sorina at first seemed to run away from the German, but then the representative of the Bundesmannstaft caught up with her and outstripped her in the transfer of the stage by 5 seconds. And the Finns and Norwegians meanwhile crept close.
However, 21-year-old Kamchadalian Veronika Stepanova did not leave any chances for her rivals at the finish line, having obtained the third “gold” of the Olympics for Russia.
The second was the four from Germany, and the third – the Swedish team.
Today, the Russian hockey players parted with the dream of medals, losing in the quarterfinals to the Swiss.
