BEIJING, February 9, Sergey Fuks. Head of the Russian Ski Racing Federation (FLGR) ) Elena Vyalbe believes that two-time world champion Sergei Ustyugov made a statement about a possible retirement on emotions. On Tuesday, 29-year-old Ustyugov could not reach the sprint final at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing. After the race, the skier said that he had lost his main start, which he had been waiting for eight years, and was starting to think about ending his career. «I didn’t talk to him about this yesterday. Everyone needs their own approach: you need to talk to someone right away, but someone needs to wait for time. But I still think that these are all emotions. It hurts a lot. In fact, I was very upset because of this. In general, his fate was broken four years ago, you know? Sergey needs to calm down. I understand , how bitter he is. Of course, he staked on this sprint, this is understandable,” said Vyalbe. the “long” relay race has not yet been formed at all, then Seryoga, I think, can be considered for 50 km,” added the head of the FLGR.
