Russian A-Team for 2019/20 Has 40 Athletes, More Than Any Competitor

The Russian Ski Federation has made public the national team's training groups for the season of 2019/2020. No fundamental changes - boss of the Russian skiing Elena Vyalbe & her coaches believe in internal competition within the Team Russia so for the upcoming season it will continue to be based around training groups led by Markus Cramer, Yuri Borodavko and Oleg Perevozchikov that are equal in status. Egor Sorin will carry on on leading the fourth group that is often seen as a sort of a farm-club but only because the average age of his skiers is lower than the rest. There is no official division on A and B teams. Each coach leads the team of specialists including at least one junior trainer, analyst, doctor, massage therapist, technicians etc.…

Up Close & Personal With Yelena Vyalbe: Part II

Leaders, Newsfeed

Part 2. Past and present. And a bit about future too. How would you compare Team Russia at the Olympics in Sochi in 2014 and in Pyeongchang-2018? Well, we failed in Sochi . Despite memorable victory at 50k. ( Russia's 1-2-3 on the podium) The fate was against us - Ustiugoiv fall, sprint relay collision, broken poles etc. - but one can't blame the fate only. Our women failed miserably and yes, I was calling them «Tumbochka” ( literally - “nightstand”, implying that somebody's heavy, overweight, unwieldy) publicly – and much worse in the locker room. Did we play unfair in Sochi? There was no “state sponsored” or any other doping in our team – period, but we did use “legally permitted tricks” such as extending last stretch on sprints…

Let's see [caption id="attachment_6545" align="aligncenter" width="1600"] Denis Spitsov, 21 - bronze and two silvers ( plus 4th place in skiathlon)[/caption] [caption id="attachment_6711" align="aligncenter" width="1600"] Alexander Bolshunov, 21 - bronze and two silvers( and a very happy ski sponsor, presumably - this photo was taken during a pre-Olympic photo shoot for Rossignol[/caption] [caption id="attachment_6943" align="aligncenter" width="1600"] Johannes Høsflot Klæbo,21 - 3 golds [/caption] [caption id="attachment_6948" align="aligncenter" width="1408"] if you stretch it just a little, you could add Simen Hegstad Krüger, 24 with his two golds. [/caption] In ladies' skiing the ratio of youngsters on the podiums is not as overwhelming but is also more than convincing: [caption id="attachment_6672" align="aligncenter"…
