PYEONGCHANG, February 25 - RIA Novosti, Sergey Smyshlyaev. The Russian cross-country skiing team did not win gold at the event, but leaves Pyeongchang with eight medals.
Before the start of the Olympic tournament in Pyeongchang, hardly anyone could even dream of such a result. Considering the fact that in South Korea By decision of the IOC, a number of team leaders, including Sergei Ustyugov, Maxim Vylegzhanin, Alexander Legkov, Natalya Matveeva and Yulia Chekaleva, did not come to wait for a medal scattering from national team it was difficult.
“I thought that I could compete for higher places, because I was moving closer, but there is something to work on. I felt quite good. But everything was somehow jerky: some parts were too heavy for me, and some... sometimes it was easier, in some places it seemed to me that my opponents were quieter,” Nepryaeva told reporters. “At some parts of the distance I ran easier, at others I was more difficult. I am not disappointed with the eighth place, this is a satisfactory result. that I can be higher."
The men's skiathlon did not start in the most pleasant way for the Russians: already in the first meters of the distance, together with the Norwegian Simen Hegstad Kruger, they fell into the rubble. And if the latter was never able to return to the fight, then Spitsov showed real fighting qualities. At the same time, he stopped one step away from the podium, which was occupied by the Norwegians: Kruger and Hans Christer Holund.
“To be honest, I didn’t understand (what happened at the start). Kruger fell, Andrei Larkov followed him, we followed each other, and I didn’t have time to react. Of course, it had an impact, we had to play so much, we were the last to leave the start, but It’s good that the pace was average. It’s good that we managed to close this gap. On the third lap I lost contact, I saw that the group was moving away, and I thought that the outcome of the race was decided, but I still fought until the last,” Spitsov told reporters.
Bronze double
Based on the results of the skiathlon, it was clear that Belorukova, to put it mildly, was dissatisfied with her result, and this sportive anger greatly helped her in the subsequent sprint in the classical style. The Russian, in the company of her compatriot Nepryaeva, reached the final, where she lost only to the Swede and Norwegian Maiken Kaspersen Falle. Thus, Belorukova, having recovered from serious health problems, began her medal journey Russian skiers in Pyeongchang.
"There is a feeling of absolute happiness. There is no and cannot be any regret that the medal could have been different. I went through a lot for this medal. I don’t want to say it again. Today I knew that there would be a medal. There were feelings. That year (at the World Championships) in Lahti, I also knew from the very morning that there would be a medal,” Belorukova told reporters.
In the men's sprint, her endeavors were supported by Alexander Bolshunov, whose participation in this race was not initially planned due to a recent illness. But in the end, the future hero of the Games changed his tickets and flew to South Korea ahead of schedule, starting the sprint and winning bronze in it.
“The temperature was almost forty, bed rest for ten days, a week in the hospital,” Bolshunov said after the final in Pyeongchang. “I lost a lot of weight, lost three or four kilograms. It really sucked. The decision (to go to Pyeongchang) was made in four days before the sprint. I watched the skiathlon in Seefeld, in Austria. And my coach and I decided at dinner that there are no medals lying around and either I go and fight, start with the sprint, or I don’t go to these competitions at all.”
Spitsov's breakthrough
In the women's 10 km freestyle race, three Russian skiers finished in the top twenty: Anastasia Sedova showed the 8th result and became 10th, and Alisa Zhambalova finished 17th. In the men's 15 km race, Spitsov took revenge for the disappointing fourth place in skiathlon, taking bronze in a discipline that has never been considered a crown jewel for Russians.
“I dedicated my fourth place to my father. But fourth place is not a medal, and now I can dedicate this to him bronze medal. Thank him for bringing him into skiing, for instilling a love for skiing. I am very grateful to him for this. I think it would be fair to dedicate this medal to my father. The secret to skiers' success? It was not for nothing that Seryoga () said: “They beat us, but we fly!” The more difficult the conditions, the better we perform,” Spitsov told reporters.
Next in the program Olympic Games There were relay races, and in both of them skiers from Russia climbed to the podium. First, the women's team took another bronze, behind the Norwegians and Swedes, and then the men won silver, losing only to the Norwegian team.
“Of course, there is a feeling of satisfaction, because each of us was tuning in for this medal today,” said Nepryaeva. “And we understood that everything is real, that we can fight on equal terms with everyone. I am incredibly happy, this is my first award at the world adult arena, and I hope that this is just the beginning. If they told me that year that I would have an Olympic medal, I would not have believed it (smiles).”
The men's team, in fact, could have fought for gold, but the team member, who had joined the team two days earlier, did not conduct his stage in the most successful way. Like Bolshunov, he was in the hospital in January, but, unlike his teammate, he did not have time to fully recover.
“Still, there is an aftertaste,” Chervotkin told reporters after presenting the medal. “This race will most likely gnaw at me for a very long time, I’ll remember it for a long time anyway. Illness is not an excuse, whether you were sick or not, many people have such situations. That Alexander () practically emerged victorious. It’s nice to receive a medal, it will last a lifetime, and no one will take it away."
Not stopping there
On February 21, medals were played in the team sprint in Pyeongchang. Nepryaeva and Belorukova were unable to realize their potential this time, finishing only ninth, but Bolshunov and Spitsov did not plan to stop there, adding another silver to the team’s treasury. Unfortunately, the lack of experience did not allow us to fight for first place, which once again went to the Norwegian team.
“To be honest, everything was enough for gold, but Denis’s little tactical mistake - and several seconds were lost. When he stood behind the Frenchman (Maurice) Manifika, who stopped him, there was a gap that I tried to close, but Johannes () of this gap was enough to take gold,” Bolshunov told reporters.
But in the 50 km marathon in the classical style, the Russian himself already made a childish mistake, which deprived him of the title Olympic champion, which went to Finn Iivo Niskanen. Larkov closed the top three.
"I feel a sense of joy for silver medal, for a wonderful race, but also upset by the childish mistake that Alexander made,” said Bolshunov’s coach Yuri Borodavko over the phone. “And it cost him a gold medal.” We talked to him yesterday and decided that it was necessary to change skis before the last lap. Definitely because it's dirty. They prepared his skis, but for some reason he decided to take a break and leave. Although we said that it would be very difficult to leave, because fresh skis work much better."
The women's marathon ended with a fairly predictable victory for Bjørgen, which became an eight-time victory. Olympic champion. Sedova became 11th, Zhambalova - 15th, and Nepryaeva - 24th.
Summing up the results of the Games in Pyeongchang, Vyalbe emphasized: “For me, the entire Olympics is a feeling of pride for my athletes, for our team. Despite the fact that Sanya had one foot on the gold podium today. But we saw that he apparently has The liver was seized, but he showed that he is a fighter. They should have a great and good sports future. Congratulations to them and all of Russia."
