MOSCOW, February 7 2022 Olympic champion, Russian skier Alexander Bolshunov said that no one should touch his Olympic medal until the end of the Games.
"In the most difficult moments, my loved ones are always there. When it was really hard, when there were big problems in the preparatory period, relatives were there. Anna has always been by my side. It's worth a lot, because it's really easier, so calmer to go through it. Apparently, everything that happened this season in preparation for the Olympics should have happened in order to win the main victory here. I'm glad it was found here. This is a long awaited medal. I'll let you hold her only after the 19th. All touching is very dangerous. 19th, after 18:00 approximately. Well, it’s better to run fifty dollars faster", — quotes Bolshunov "Match TV".
Bolshunov won a gold medal in the skiathlon on February 6. The second place in the race was taken by another Russian Denis Spitsov. Cross-country skiing at the Olympics will end on February 19 after the men's 50 km mass start.
