Coach Yuri Borodavko said that Bolshunov lacked competition in Russian tournaments
The head coach of the Russian national cross-country skiing team, Yuri Borodavko, lamented the lack of competitors for the three-time Olympic champion Alexander Bolshunov. His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
“In some races this season, Bolshunov lacked competition. He won in the region of a minute – this is a lot, ”said the specialist. He noted that he would like to see more fighting in tournaments.
In addition, Borodavko assessed the level of domestic competitions. “All stages have reached a high level. I think that our stages of organizing and holding are no worse than the stages of the World Cup,” he stressed.
Earlier, Bolshunov spoke about the words that touched him from the Norwegian opponent. “This week, an athlete from the Norwegian national team wrote to me with the phrase “come to us, we miss you.” He said that you need to turn negative thoughts and leave what is happening aside, ”the Russian shared.
Russian skiers missed the season on the international stage due to sanctions imposed on them by the International Ski Federation (FIS).
