MOSCOW, January 7, Andrey Senchenko. Russian Alexander Tretyakov expressed regret in an interview in connection with the decision of the judges to cancel his best result at the stage of the World Cup in skeleton in Winterberg, Germany. After the first attempt, Tretyakov had the best time, ahead of his closest rival Latvian Martins Dukurs by 0.21 seconds. At the end of the attempt, representatives of the German national team filed a protest, pointing out the presence of snow on the track. The attempt was then canceled. The check-in was carried out again. Participants were given one attempt at a time. As a result, Tretyakov took third place. The victory in the race was won by Dukurs (56.36 seconds), the second place was taken by German Axel Jung with a lag of 0.01 seconds. “There was a light snowfall before the competition, but it had already ended before the start. I talked to the guys from their team. They felt that they were treated unfairly. Although during my race there was also snow on the track. Was it fair to cancel the initial results in relation to me? Of course, I am unpleasant. First the attempt turned out very good. It's a shame when the results burn out essentially just like that, «- said Tretyakov.» But what can you do — this is a sport, the usual stage of the World Cup. He took bronze, showed a good result, worthy. The main starts are still ahead. The Olympics? I don’t think about it yet. I still have to qualify for the Games. The European Championship and the World Cup final are ahead. All thoughts are only about that, «he added.
