VAL DI FIEMME (Italy), January 3, Sergey Fuchs. Russian skier Tatyana Sorina believes that she should not have allowed a large gap from the group of leaders before the last lap in the 10 km mass start in the classical style as part of the Tour de Ski. The last stages of the Tour de Ski are held in Val di Fiemme (Italy). The women's mass start took place on Monday, with Sorina in 10th place. The victory was won by the Russian Natalya Nepryaeva, who is in the lead in the overall standings of the stage race. “I don’t know what happened. Maybe the pace didn’t allow, the state. I seemed to be trying, somewhere, I probably missed my chance. I had to hold on at least to the ending groups, perhaps. Because the distance was throughout the entire distance, it seemed, here they are, only on the last lap they ran away, and so — everything was side by side. Probably not worth allowing such a gap. The scenario of this «Tour de Ski» is similar to last year , this makes it even more insulting. I was just upset because of this. Tomorrow I will try to run to the maximum. The results will show how fraught this race was for the whole Tour de Ski, «Sorina said.» Skiing? I think it's not about them, but about the ointment and the block itself. Yes, indeed, on the plain it was very felt, because it was necessary to push very hard on the plain, more or less the rise. As soon as the slopes or the plain — just a gap, a lot of energy wasted, «she added.
