President of the Federation of ski races Russia has summed up the first part of the World Cup
Vladimir Ivanov
of Falun
– When on the eve of the World Cup, you said that relying on five medals, including one gold, it is assumed that it will win it Vilegzhanin?
– By the way, I am after all wanted check to see whether we have five. And then suddenly I gone too far? Seriously though, the more gold medals we win, the more reason to celebrate, we will. And who would have won them no, we are equally happy. I’m no one in front of the coaching group is not my task in terms of occupied seats. At the same time, I can safely say that Maxim deserved this victory more than anyone else in the Russian team. As well as Sasha Easy in Sochi.
Vilegzhanin no more silver. He – gold!
– There was concern that after so many silver medals at the finish Vilegzhanin psychologically cope with the proximity of the long-awaited victory?
– What are you, Max – not from notorious. Hard to draw parallels with Lesha Prokurorovym but Vilegzhanin, just as he reaches his results only hard work. Psychological stability at the highest level.
– At what point does believe that we will be gold?
– When they went downhill, I felt confident. At the World Cup in Rybinsk them with the colonies had already been confronted, and Max showed its strength.

– All four of our guys finish in the top 15. For someone upset?
– So we can not say. It’s a shame, of course, that Ilya CHernousov finished far. Who will certainly “had put Legkova” … But I do not I can predict the future. Especially one who knows whether it was possible to Sasha perform better.
– As far as I know, he has a couple of days ago knew not run skiathlon.
– Even more. Immediately, I came here, Sasha knew that his first race will be “cutting.” We had a conversation. I asked him to choose between 30 and 15 km. Legkov said between one choice, and when he found out, he said, it would be logical if Ilya run mass start, and he – Independent. Of course, he, like all normal athletes who wants to run everything. But at the same time we can not allow a repetition of Oslo 2011 where Sasha, unfortunately, greedy “tag” and not enough on the baton.
– Moreover, the shape he is not the one that a year ago.
– The fact of the matter. I told him this and argued. If he was as ready as last season, the question on the agenda even would not be standing. In our case it is necessary to save power. Especially in the relay chances we have very good.
Maxim Vilegzhanin: “The really wanted to win just after the third silver in Sochi”

– Some coaches after sprint did not really sleep. How are you with this?
– To be honest, normally fell asleep just before today’s race. Prior to that, every day tossed. And then an hour lay down, got up at six. It’s all right.
– Now, when emotions cooled down, tell me why we still did not have enough to medal in the sprint?
– Sprint has a sprint …
– requisitions for gold in the team sprint?
– Everything related to the sprint – very unpredictable. There may be the most incredible decomposed.

– Immediately after the individual competitions realized that on Sunday will run Nikita Kryukov and Alexey Petukhov?
– We discussed with Yury Kaminsky about it. If you look at the final protocol, Sergei Ustyugov still beat Petukhov. But Serge because after illness. Nikita and Alex really know each other well. In the relay is important.
– Ustyugov run butchering?
– Required. Moreover, it is among the contenders for remote relay.
Børge did not become the absolute queen of ski?

– The Norwegians have no doubt that in the women’s skiathlon win Marit Bjoergen …
– The truth?
– This case, it would have won his 14th gold medal of the world championships and catch up with you on this indicator.
– Oh … Norwegian journalists who call me a year with these parallels with Børge. Prior to the 2011 Oslo said that she would win all six distances, then the same in Val di Fiemme, and now has some 14th medal. How much can you? There was a time when I was running. Now is the time Børge. Let her win at least 20 medals – I have nothing inside kolyhnetsya. Now another century, after all. She – a great athlete. Why else would some comparisons?
– And you were not surprised that today it is without a medal?
– Not at all. It is not a robot, but a man. Anything can happen.
– Now she Phenchhanga 34. Until 2018 will make it?
– I was told that in the next season, she is going to go on maternity leave. With the renewed blood Marit can still ask all the heat.
– And our girls what to do?
– Nothing. In athletes have to believe. You can criticize, criticize, but to believe. This season, the girls are very much trained. They need time to digest the load. While that’s Julia Chekaleva should be a leader and lead the team in any way. If it will not manifest itself on the main start – this is very bad.
