Beijing, Feb 10, Sergey Fuchs. Elena Vyalbe, head of the Russian Ski Racing Federation admitted that she could not remember a more offensive race for skier Natalia Nepryaeva than the classic race with a separate start at the Beijing Olympics. On Thursday, Nepryaeva took fourth place in the “cutting”. The Russian woman did not have one tenth of a second before the bronze medalist of the Finnish Krista Pyarmyakoski. The victory in the race was won by Norwegian Teresa Johaug. «Of course, it's a shame. All the girls who started today quickly finished quickly. Mountains, such snow — everything is insidious. Our girls are stable in the upper part? Stability is a sign of skill. I think it would be less offensive if Natasha had lost three seconds, not one tenth. I can’t remember a more offensive race for her. It’s clear that she doesn’t want to communicate now. Everything takes time. No need to get into the soul when it’s hard. Everything will pass, «- said Vyalba to reporters. «Today, Yulia (Stupak) tactically had the best race. Tanya (Sorina) was also very good, but she could start more calmly. Johaug found strength in herself. it didn't matter who wins,» Vyalbe added.
