“Another Russian”: Arkhangelsk skier won the pursuit race at the World Cup
Alexander Bolshunov is already the second representative of the Arkhangelsk region, who brought the national ski gold of the World Cup in Finnish races in the Finnish Hand
Recall that on Saturday Alexander Bolshunov took third place on the podium in the 15-kilometer race, losing a step to his teammate Alexei Chervotkin, and the highest step to Finn Ivo Niskanen.
Today Bolshunov again shared the track with a hot Finnish guy, but he did it, like all the other 15 kilometers of the pursuit race. His result is 35 minutes 23.7 seconds.
This is already the second gold of the World Cup, which the Arkhangelsk athletes put in the common piggy bank. On the first day of competition, another representative of the Arkhangelsk region, Alexander Terentyev, made everyone look at themselves in the back at the sprint distance.
By the way, even then the Norwegian skier Johannes Klebo reacted to the victory of the Arkhangelsk athlete Alexander Terentyev:
“Yes, another Russian. Not one, so another. They appear from behind and run faster than we have ever run. It was impressive, there is nothing more to say. I’m just not good enough. This is what’s cool about sports: athletes appear, big leaps forward and become incredibly strong in a short amount of time. I find that what he does is impressive and motivating. “…
