Beijing, Feb 3, Oleg Bogatov. Russian skeletonist Alina Tararychenkova stated that she is confident in her own abilities and hopes to perform consistently at the Olympic Games in Beijing and surprise everyone with a good result. On February 10-12 in Yanqing, skeletonists will compete for two sets of individual awards in competitions among men and women. The Olympics will be held February 4-20. Tararychenkova is the debutant of the Games. «In the Olympic Village in Yanqing, everything is so unusual, beautiful and cool,» said Tararychenkova. «When we first went out for a walk, we were very impressed. And especially because everything was done for us And there are so many well-known athletes around that I have never met before. Everything is clearly organized — when we go to training, cars immediately arrive on time. Everything is very well done here. «The Russian team held a training camp in October on the Olympic track in Yanqing. «We were waiting for the track to be changed and were ready for it,» the athlete noted. «There are some minor adjustments, now it has become better and easier. I really like it and wanted to drive along it as soon as possible. «I'm at the Olympics. I would like to get into the top six or at least the top ten. I'm determined to surprise everyone. Each of our athletes, if he gets together, can show a good result. We need to start quickly and abilly drive all races. I have an inner confidence that I can compete for medals.»
