Lynik Bolshunov said that the night race in Italy is comparable to the Olympics
Russian skier Alexander Bolshunov compared the Sudtirol Moonlight Classic night race in Italy with the Olympic Games. His words are conveyed by “Match TV”.
“It is comparable to the Olympic Games, many wrote, watched. There are reports that in Moscow there is somewhere on banners. Cool. This has not happened for a long time. This happens only after the Olympic Games, ”said Bolshunov. The athlete said that he was supported, including local residents, from the very start to the finish line. He noted that due to a long detachment, fans around the world are waiting for Russians.
The Russian won the race of 30 kilometers with a classic style, despite the fact that his lantern was turned off. These are the first international competitions for Bolshunov over the past three years.
Initially, in the protocol of the participants of the competition, the Russian flag had a Russian flag. However, a few hours before the start of the race, he was removed.
The restrictions on the performance of Russians by the International Federation of Ski Racing and Snowboard (FIS) were imposed in March 2022. Since that moment, representatives of Russia have been suspended from international tournaments.
