The 2022 European champion Mark Kondratyuk, Mikhail Kolyada and Andrey Mozalev, who won the competition for the third ticket from Yevgeny Semenenko, will compete in the men's competition. If we talk about our single skaters in general, then I am very impressed by Mark Kondratyuk, a great fellow! After all, he got us the third quota in Oberstdorf, won the Russian Championship, and now the European Championship. I am very pleased with his success and I will closely follow and cheer him It is difficult to say whether he is ready to shoot at the Olympics, you can only keep your fists for him. Mikhail Kolyada? Of course, it will not be easy for him, because he missed the European Championship. Although it is possible that the effect will be the opposite — he exhaled, calmly got into Olympic form In any case, you need to give the guys time,» Urmanov said.
